Summary

The treatment of Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) continue to raise difficult problems. Both the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies often fail to achieve the expected results. The aim of this study is to assess the short- and long-term efficacy of an intervention, the Special Care Unit for patients with BPSD (SCU-B), already implemented in some countries but not validated so far, as well as its cost-effectiveness

SCU-B

SCU-B is "a residential medical structure lying outside of a nursing home, in a general hospital or elsewhere, e.g. in a private hospital, where patients with BPSD are temporarily admitted when their behavioural disturbances are not amenable to control at home".
