New Method Predicts Time from Alzheimer’s Onset to Nursing Home, Death
Columbia University Irving Medical CenterA Columbia-led research team has clinically validated a new method for predicting time to nursing home residence or death for patients with Alzheimer’s. The method uses data from a single patient visit, and is based on a complex model of Alzheimer’s progression developed by consecutively following two sets of Alzheimer’s patients for 10 years each.
