Disaggregating medical costs due to dementia
This research will be the first to present nationally-representative estimates of medical costs attributable to dementia by region, sex, race and comorbid status. Our final set of analyses will further disentangle costs across additional patient subgroups, settings, and time to ascertain when, where, and for whom cost of dementia is highest. Results will inform comprehensive estimates of cost of dementia using the USCDM and may have clinical implications for management of comorbid conditions in PLWD.
