Healthcare resource utilization of Alzheimer's disease – a Swedish quality register‐based cohort study
In people with AD dementia, drug prescriptions and social care utilization increase with advancing AD severity. In contrast, outpatient specialist care utilization decreases with advancing AD severity. The results of this study can serve to provide better understanding on HCRU and the type of care provided to individuals with AD by AD stages and can also be used as input parameters for future economic evaluations of new treatments for AD.
