Abstract
Previous studies indicate that while mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with elevated rates of conversion to dementia at the group level, heterogeneity of outcome is common at the individual level. There is a need to identify the characteristics of patients with MCI that predict stability of deficits, reversion to normal cognitive functioning and progression to AD, or another form of dementia. The aim of this study was to determine whether baseline neuropsychological measures predict outcome for older adults with MCI.
