The impact of cognitive impairment on survival and medication adherence among older women with breast cancer.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that older female patients with cognitive impairments and a breast cancer diagnosis have a heightened risk of cancer-specific and non-cancer mortality. Our findings do not indicate that chronic medication adherence plays a role in the association between a history of cognitive impairment and mortality, it is still necessary to further investigate this issue.
