The presence of hallucinations is included in some, but not all, of the sets of clinical diagnostic criteria that have been proposed for dementia associated with cortical Lewy bodies. These criteria were developed from retrospective casenote analyses. This prospective, longitudinal study suggests that, in patients with Alzheimer's disease, cortical Lewy bodies are associated with more persistent and severe hallucinations, independently of any association with severity of cognitive decline. Poor eyesight contributes to the severity but not the persistence of the hallucinations.
幻觉的存在被纳入了一些(但并非全部)已提出的与皮质路易体痴呆相关的临床诊断标准组中。这些标准是通过回顾性病例记录分析制定的。这项前瞻性纵向研究表明,在阿尔茨海默病患者中,皮质路易体与更持续、更严重的幻觉相关,与认知衰退的严重程度无关。视力不佳会加重幻觉的严重程度,但不会导致幻觉持续存在。
