No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most patients with dementia in the UK use their local hospitals and general (family) practices throughout their illness. Linked electronic health records from primary care, hospital and death certificates records therefore provide useful information about the diagnosis and prognosis of patients who develop dementia.

In this study we will assess the validity of dementia diagnoses in linked primary care, hospital and death records, by examining the timing of important health transitions in patients with recorded dementia, and we will estimate the lifetime risk of recorded dementia in different age and sex groups
