Prevalence of potentially reversible underlying causes and of potentially reversible concomitant conditions in all 1000 patients and in subgroups of patients

NumberPotentially reversible primary underlying cause (%)One or more potentially reversible concomitant conditions (%)
χ2 showed the following results: *p<0.05 patients with objective cognitive deficits versus patients with dementia; **p<0.001 patients with objective cognitive deficits versus patients with dementia, patients with no objective cognitive deficits versus patients with dementia, and patients aged <60 years versus patients aged ≥60 years. No significant differences in women versus men in the frequency of potentially reversible primary underlying cause and between the various subgroups in the frequency of potentially reversible concomitant conditions.
