Abstract
Of 135 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), 56 without psychiatric symptoms at the first visit were followed for a mean period of 51.9 ± 10.3 months to identify incident psychiatric symptoms. The hazard ratios of ApoE ε4 allele in developing psychiatric symptoms were calculated by Cox regression hazard analyses. The presence of the ApoE ε4 allele carried a 19.0-fold risk for developing hallucinations and a 3.4-fold risk for delusions.
