The video in this chapter explores dementia, and focuses on definitions of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and Frontotemporal Dementia. Dementia is defined as a cognitive decline in one or more cognitive domains including memory, language, attention, visuospatial processing and social behavior. Two hallmark pathologic features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are plaques, which are formed from amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles, which involve tau, whereas symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) may include behavioral changes, apathy and disinhibition and ritualistic or repetitive behaviors. Language may also be affected, and this can be a presenting symptom.

We aimed to evaluate the frequency and mortality of COVID-19 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We conducted an observational case series. We enrolled 204 patients, 15.2% of whom were diagnosed with COVID-19, and 41.9% of patients with the infection died. Patients with AD were older than patients with FTD (80.36±8.77 versus 72.00±8.35 years old) and had a higher prevalence of arterial hypertension (55.8% versus 26.3%). COVID-19 occurred in 7.3% of patients living at home, but 72.0% of those living at care homes. Living in care facilities and diagnosis of AD were independently associated with a higher probability of death. We found that living in care homes is the most relevant factor for an increased risk of COVID-19 infection and death, with AD patients exhibiting a higher risk than those with FTD.
