Description
Deborah Barnes and co-authors wrote a report from 2023 on a trial that aims to find missed dementia cases in primary care. Many older patients with dementia are never diagnosed. The trial uses health record data to score each patient's risk and flags those at high risk who are sixty-five or older. Doctors are split by lot, and one group's patients are invited to a brain health visit.
The report checks how the process worked for the first wave of patients. Of five hundred and seventy-five people invited, about one in four agreed and one in five came to the visit. Lack of interest was the main reason people said no. Most who came brought a care partner. About one in seven showed signs in line with dementia, and close to half showed mild memory loss. Those who came were glad, and few felt upset by it.
