In a sample of 178 patients with AD, visual hallucinations had been experienced by 13% and auditory hallucinations by 10%. Thirty per cent had misidentification syndromes; these were associated with a younger age and younger age at onset of illness, and proportionally more men than women were affected. There was a reduced 30-month mortality rate in this group. Subjects with hallucinations had a greater deterioration in cognitive function at 12-month follow-up, which could not be accounted for by neuroleptic medication.
在178例阿尔茨海默病患者的样本中，13%的患者有视幻觉，10%的患者有听幻觉。30%的患者有错误识别综合征；这些与较年轻的年龄以及疾病发病时较年轻的年龄相关，并且受影响的男性比例高于女性。该组的30个月死亡率有所降低。有幻觉的受试者在12个月随访时认知功能恶化更严重，这不能用抗精神病药物来解释。
