Overview

Cross-sectional survey highlights delays in diagnosis and treatment pathways for patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease in the UK.

Key Points

  • Delays in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment highlight crucial areas for improvement.
  • Physicians reported a median time of 26.0 weeks from symptom onset to consultation for patients with dementia.
  • Biomarker-confirmed diagnoses were reported for only 4.9% of patients in the United Kingdom's health system.
  • Increasing public awareness and biomarker use could expedite the diagnosis process for Alzheimer's disease.
