Key Points

The study aims to assess how different diagnostic subtypes of dementia impact the quality of primary care.
Retrospective cohort design
Analyzed data from 1490 English general practices
Focused on quality indicators related to dementia
Identified increased likelihood of potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIP) in individuals with non-Alzheimer's dementias.
Noted a need for more research on the impact of new Alzheimer’s drugs on care disparities.

Abstract

We found greater likelihood of PIP in people with non-AD dementias, a novel finding. Further research is needed, especially with new AD drugs potentially widening disparities.
