A Systematic Literature Review of the Epidemiological, Diagnostic Workup, Humanistic, and Economic Burden of Alzheimer’s Disease in Spain

This study highlights the need to improve early diagnosis of AD dementia and to establish reliable health registries to measure its burden. The lack of evidence on practice heterogeneity hinders standardized care strategies. Addressing these gaps is essential to improve patient management, ensure equitable access to timely and accurate diagnosis, and facilitate access to emerging disease-modifying treatments for AD dementia.

Abstract

This study highlights the need to improve early diagnosis of AD dementia and to establish reliable health registries to measure its burden. The lack of evidence on practice heterogeneity hinders standardized care strategies. Addressing these gaps is essential to improve patient management, ensure equitable access to timely and accurate diagnosis, and facilitate access to emerging disease-modifying treatments for AD dementia.
