dian survival increased to 8 years from disease onset (95%CI: 7.3-8.6), and 4 years from initial evaluation (95%CI: 3.4-4.6). Extrapyramidal symptoms and disinhibition remained significant predictors of decreased survival, with reduced survival in males compared to females. However, motor speech deficits and tau pathology were no longer associated with survival when excluding cases with MND. Conclusions: BvFTD is associated with a poor prognosis. Our findings suggest that presence of MND, extrapyramidal symptoms and disinhibition negatively impact survival in bvFTD.
