Description
Timothy Juday and nine co-authors chart how early Alzheimer's disease gets diagnosed and managed in US community care. Charts covered 1,284 patients aged 50 to 89 with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's, seen within the past year. Statistical models tied patient and doctor traits to biomarker testing, referrals, and use of beta-amyloid therapies. The chart review ran in August and September 2023.
Younger patients, those under 65, were more likely to get biomarker or imaging workups. Neurologists ordered such assessments far more than primary care doctors did. Ethnicity also patterned who received full evaluation, the models showed. The authors aim the findings at smoothing the diagnostic path.
