Healio (3/9, Gawel) reports, “Asking caregivers if they are concerned about clutter or possible hoarding may help identify neurocognitive disorders, according to a study.” Investigators came to this conclusion after conducting an “observational construct validity study” that “used retrospectively gathered data from 135 patients (mean age, 70.9 years; 39% women; 73% white) at an academic memory disorders clinic between October 2018 and August 2021.” The findings were published in The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences.
