Overview

Umbrella review evaluates psychosocial and healthcare interventions, indicating mixed results on hospitalisation for dementia patients.

Key Points

  • High-certainty evidence shows case management and exercise programmes have no effect on hospitalisation in dementia.
  • Moderate certainty evidence indicates clinical pharmacists in multidisciplinary teams may reduce medication-related hospital admissions.
  • Low certainty evidence suggests advance care planning potentially reduces hospital admissions for people with dementia.
  • Study emphasizes need for more robust research and evidence-based recommendations to tackle dementia-related hospitalisations.
