Studies have shown mixed evidence regarding the benefits of early diagnosis on mortality, cognitive decline, and hospitalization risk for individuals with dementia.
Patient data has been recommended for generating policies and services that deliver better outcomes for individuals with dementia, their carers, and healthcare systems.
The DETERMIND initiative aims to promote early and timely diagnosis of dementia and has created indices for measuring the timeliness of diagnosis.
Outcome measures for the DETERMIND initiative include quality of life, well-being, and carer burden for individuals with dementia.
The data from the DETERMIND initiative includes individual logistic regression model coefficients for person with dementia outcomes against indices of early and timely diagnosis.
