Abstract
Objectives : Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are increasing. The present study examined the character in Baum Test drawn by AD patients with cognitive progression. Method : We classified 38 mild AD patients treated at our hospital into two groups by one-year changes of Minimental state examination scores : (i) Patients with cognitive progression and (ii) Patients without cognitive progression. We compared the characteristics of Baum Test between the two groups. Results : The group 1 drew the tree in significantly smaller size as compared with the group 2. Conclusion : This result suggests that the tree size in Baum Test may predict the cognitive prognosis of AD patients.
