Patterns, determinants, and outcomes of early use of antidementia drugs: A 6-year multicenter cohort study in Thailand
ADD prescription rates were relatively low, with a one-year persistence rate of 25 %. Early-ADD use may improve clinical outcomes by reducing hospitalization and in-hospital mortality. These findings provide clinical features of ADD used in real-world settings and highlight the need for adherence to practice standards and strategies to promote ADD persistence among individuals with dementia.
