Core Tip

Core Tip: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a serious condition leading to cognitive and social challenges. A recent study found that poor prognosis in AD patients is linked to abnormal cellular immune function, extrapyramidal symptoms, altered consciousness, abnormal electroencephalogram, increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and severe pneumonia. Impaired cellular immune function, particularly reduced T lymphocytes in the blood, is an independent predictor of poor prognosis. Early and continuous use of AD medications is associated with better outcomes.
