Extrapyramidal Signs and Psychiatric Symptoms Predict Faster Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease
Arch Neurol 51:676-681, Chui,H.C.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
After controlling for initial severity of dementia,the presence of extrapyramidal signs and behavioral symptoms(agitation and hallucinations) significantly predict faster cognitive decline.These findings may reflect the effects of neuroleptic medication,the presence of underlying diffuse Lewy body syndrome or alterations in biogenic amine systems.
