The patient pathway for mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease in Asia: Current practices, barriers, and expert recommendations for optimization
The survey findings showed that screening and diagnostic processes for mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease in Asia require further optimization. Efforts should also be made to educate patients and caregivers, improve the diagnostic capabilities of primary and secondary healthcare providers, and reinforce cognitive screening services. The provision and reimbursement of confirmatory tests of amyloid burden should be expanded across the region to facilitate access to innovative disease-modifying therapies.
