Overview
Brief Summary
NEODEM is a multicenter cohort study of patients with early-onset degenerative dementia (before age 65), the main objective of which is to study behavioral disorders and in particular depression as functional prognostic factors at 3 years.
Detailed Description
Early-onset dementia (EOD), which begins before the age of 65, is less common than late-onset dementia but represents a significant burden for the patient, their family and the healthcare system. The descriptive epidemiology is poorly known, and the National Reference Center for young patients, using English data (Harvey et al., 2003) estimates the number of subjects concerned in France at 18,318. It is degenerative dementia that is the most common cause of EOD and among them, Alzheimer's disease and then frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) (Vieira et al., 2013). The natural history and prognostic factors of PDD are not well known, and only AD has some data. Alzheimer's disease (AD) in young people appears to have a worse prognosis than that in older people, but this is debated (Stanley and Walker, 2014) and also depends on the criteria studied: cognition, function or survival. Prognostic factors other EOD, and in particular frontotemporal dementias, which moreover are heterogeneous pathologies, are even less known. Investigators have chosen to study the functional prognosis of patients because it is both very relevant to care needs and easy to measure. Among the prognostic factors of functional status, investigators will study in particular psycho-behavioral disorders, and in particular depression, which is very common in patients with EOD, a factor of poor quality of life and accessible to treatment. Other potential prognostic factors such as cognitive reserve, gender, clinical variants of AD and DFT, family status (living alone or having a caregiver), genetic status, family history of dementia, CSF biomarkers and MRI imaging will be studied . The evolution of instrumental activities of daily living will be measured. The social and paramedical resources used by the patient and his family will be collected, as well as the use of psychotropic and non-drug treatments. Finally, the overall evolution of the severity of dementia will be measured. Eligible patients will be included for 3 years and evaluated every 6 months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
BADL dependency in both bathing and dressing at 18 months
Time Frame: 18 months after inclusion
Katz scale ranks the adequacy of performance in six basic functions including bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring,continence, and feeding.. It has been shown that bathing and dressing are the first ADL to be lost, also defined by Katz et al. as the thresholds for disability (Katz et al., 1970 ; Edjolo et al., 2016). Each item is graded according to the level of dependence as follows: performs independently (0 point), performs with assistance (1 point), and unable to perform (2 point). A total score of 0 indicates "full function" and 12 indicates "severe functional impairment". To evaluate the primary outcome, only the score at the two first items (bathing and dressing, scoring from 0 to 4) will be taken into account for the analysis: complete dependency is present if the score at the two first items is 4 and absent if \<4.
