The most widely established diagnostic criteria for the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia have now been in use for almost a decade. Although consensus criteria have provided a much needed standard for frontotemporal dementia research, a growing body of evidence suggests that revisions are needed to improve their applicability. In this article, we discuss the limitations of current diagnostic criteria and propose the establishment of an international consortium to revise diagnostic and research criteria for the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia.
目前，应用最广泛的额颞叶痴呆行为变异型诊断标准已使用了近十年。尽管共识标准为额颞叶痴呆研究提供了急需的标准，但越来越多的证据表明，需要进行修订以提高其适用性。在本文中，我们讨论了当前诊断标准的局限性，并提议成立一个国际联盟来修订额颞叶痴呆行为变异型的诊断和研究标准。
