Dementia Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

ADAS-Cog — The STATS field lists 'C' as a component instead of the full task name 'Word-Finding Difficulty'.

Clive Ballard — The entry states Ballard became Pro-Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean at the University of Exeter Medical School in November 2016, but the correct title is 'Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean' (with hyphens), and the intro section says 'interim deputy pro

Constructional apraxia — The entry states 'cannot be localized to a specific hemisphere or cerebral area', but constructional apraxia is typically associated with parietal lobe lesions, often in the right hemisphere, though both hemispheres can be involved.

Constructional apraxia — The entry states 'The AT8 antibody has proven an early indicator of tau protein pathology', but AT8 is a research tool used to detect hyperphosphorylated tau, not itself a clinical early indicator.

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease in Australia — The entry states dementia was the 'second leading cause of death overall' in 2017, but according to the ABS Causes of Death data for 2017, dementia was the third leading cause of death overall, not second.

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease in Australia — The entry states 'Vascular risk factors accounted for approximately 5.2–8.4% of the dementia and Alzheimer's disease burden.' This figure is not a standard or accurate figure for vascular risk factors in the Australian context; the AIHW reports modifiable risk

Family caregivers in the United States — The claim that the estimated value of unpaid care rose from $310 billion in 2006 is incorrect; the 2006 estimate was approximately $350 billion.

Family caregivers in the United States — The number of caregivers is stated as approximately 63 million, but the standard canon for unpaid caregivers of adults (including dementia context) is about 53 million.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration — The DID YOU KNOW section claims that in FTLD-TDP the protein involved could be TMEM106B, which is misleading because TMEM106B is a risk factor gene, not a replacement for TDP-43 as the primary pathological protein; the actual finding was that TMEM106B can form

Ideational apraxia — The claim that Arnold Pick first described a patient who 'placed a pistol in his mouth' is not a widely documented canonical example from Pick's original descriptions; the classic example from Pick's 1905 paper involved a patient who used a comb incorrectly, a

Ideational apraxia — The statement that 'Liepmann's multiple-object tasks revealed errors such as bringing a whole matchbox to a candle wick instead of a single match' is factually inaccurate; Liepmann's classic descriptions typically involved errors like using the matchbox as if

KultureCity — The entry states that Guidestar named KultureCity 'Best National Non-Profit in 2014 and 2015,' but Guidestar (now Candid) does not have such an award; it issues transparency seals.

KultureCity — The entry states that KultureCity supplied sensory kits for venues hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but as of 2025 the event has not occurred and there is no confirmed public record of this.
