Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The aim of this study is to establish a clinical register to represent clinic, history, genetics and pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer Disease, fronto-temporal dementia, Parkinson disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ataxias) and cerebro-vascular originated diseases (after stroke amyloid angiopathy). In the long term the development of neurodegenerative diseases are better understood through the analysis of data and the possibilities of early and differential diagnosis can be improved. Annual follow-up visits are pursued. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Another aim of the DESCRIBE Register trial is quickly well-characterized participants to contact for participating in other studies, where the people have agreed to this approach. | — |
