Frequency of occurrence of a WAIS dementia profile in male head trauma patients.
This study investigated Fuld's (1983) contention that a WAIS dementia profile occurs infrequently in conditions other than Alzheimer's Disease. A sample of 50 male head trauma patients was examined for incidence of the profile. The WAIS profile occurred in five cases (10%) of the patients. This compares favourably with the figures reported for patients with multiple infarcts and is consistent with Fuld's position.
