Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Criteria met for major or mild NCD
Core criterion B
Clinical features consistent with vascular aetiology: decline in complex attention and executive function; temporal link to cerebrovascular event(s) or neuroimaging evidence of vascular pathology
Core criterion C
Probable: neuroimaging with significant vascular pathology or temporal link to infarct; Possible: no neuroimaging or temporal link but clinical features present
Core criterion D
Disturbance not better explained by another brain disease or systemic disorder
Consistent with [Vascular Neurocognitive Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Following a cerebrovascular event or in the context of ongoing cerebrovascular disease, there have been impairments in attention; impairments in executive functioning; impairments in visuospatial abilities; impairments in learning and memory; impairments in language; impairments in social cognition, forming a pattern meeting the threshold for a vascular neurocognitive disorder. The presentation is further characterised by a temporal relationship between cognitive decline and cerebrovascular events; prominent decline in complex attention and executive functioning; focal neurological signs; evidence of cerebrovascular pathology on examination or imaging. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or adaptive functioning, with the disturbance not occurring exclusively during delirium.
