Care sequences leading to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias: An analysis of electronic health records

CONCLUSIONS: Several distinct patterns of care leading to ADRD diagnoses were identified. Integrated care models are needed to promote early identification of ADRD.HIGHLIGHTS: Dementia patients followed distinct care pathways prior to their dementia diagnoses. Key sociodemographic traits contributed to the variation in the sequences of care. Racial differences in the sequencing of care were also found, but only in women.PMID:38270269 | DOI:10.1002/alz.13669
