-
Four studies were included. Two third-order constructs were generated through meta-ethnography: expectations of care and barriers to quality of care.
-
This study examined the impact of advance care planning (ACP) on healthcare utilization among older adults with normal cognition and impaired cognition/dementia.
-
In total, 6,683 participants were included.
-

Successful discharge of beneficiaries with ADRD increased from 43.4% in 2007 to 53.9% in 2015 (average annual percent change (AAPC) = 2.1 (95% CI = 2.0-2.2)); those without ADRD also increased (from 59.1% to 63.6%, AAPC = 0.9 (95% CI = 0.7-1.1)) but not as fast as those with ADRD (P < .01).
-
The eRADAR tool uses existing EHR data to detect patients with good accuracy who may have unrecognized dementia.
-
Program participants (n = 382 men, n = 701 women; mean [SD] age, 82.10 [7.90] years; age range 54-101 years) were less likely to be admitted to a long-term care facility (hazard ratio, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.59-0.61) than those not participating in the dementia care program (n = 759 men, n = 1407 women; mean [SD] age, 82.42 [8.50] years; age range, 34-103 years).
-
Hearing aids may have a mitigating effect on trajectories of cognitive decline in later life.
-
OHL was associated with greater risk of incident dementia in a multiethnic cohort.
-
Social Security and Medicare actuaries should account for the growing number of beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions when determining population projections and trust fund solvency.
-
This review shows that communication skills training in dementia care significantly improves the quality of life and wellbeing of people with dementia and increases positive interactions in various care settings.
-
Individuals aged 68+ years diagnosed with OAG have a decreased rate of AD or other dementia diagnosis compared to control patients without an OAG diagnosis.
-
Individuals with dementia live and frequently die in community settings.
-
Motor inactivity is typical in the later stages of Alzheimer's disease although there is evidence that physical exercise can reduce depression and enhance performance of daily activities.

Social activity is associated with a decreased risk of incident disability in activities of daily living, mobility, and instrumental activities of daily living, among community-dwelling older adults.
-
Greater purpose in life is associated with a reduced risk of AD and MCI in community-dwelling older persons.
-
Meta-analysis was used to examine pooled parameter estimates of 9 active compared with 6 control conditions of the Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health (REACH) project at 6 months on caregiver burden and depressive symptoms.
-
If these results can be generalised then virtually all mental disorders have an increased risk of suicide excepting mental retardation and dementia.
-
Short-term mortality is increased in patients newly diagnosed with probable AD.
-
Insomnia in elderly people has traditionally been regarded as inevitable and trivial.
-
The prevalence of hearing impairment and dementia increases with age but the nature of their association remains unclear.
-
NPS were present in 95% in at least one time point.
-
The analytical sample size of the study was 2,068,937, including 9.9% Black, 82.7% White, and 7.4% Hispanic individuals.
-
The unadjusted mortality rates were 13.4% in general RC/AL and 15.8% in memory-care RC/AL with an adjusted difference of 1.3 percentage points higher mortality among memory-care RC/AL residents (p = 0.04).
-
Alive PWD (n = 804) were 2.36 times more likely to have an overnight hospital stay (p = 0.004) and 1.96 times more likely to have multiple hospitalizations when caregivers found it physically difficult to provide care (p = 0.011).
