The task in writing this guideline proposes recommended diagnostics algorithm for Alzheimer´s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal
dementia, Parkinson´s disease with dementia, and dementia with Lewy Bodies. The aim of this guidelines for diagnosis of dementia
is to present a peer-rewiewed and evidence-based statement in order to guide the practice neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists,
and other specialised physicians responsible for the care of the patients with dementia. This guideline may contribute to the rational
diagnotic methods proceeding in the most common dementia disorders according to evidence-based medicine.
Keywords: dementia, Alzheimer´s disease, vascular dementia, diagnostics, guidelines.
