“…Although in Spain there are no studies with a sample as large as ours, the results about demographic data both from the individual with dementia and from the caregiver obtained in the city of Madrid [ 29 ], Pamplona [ 30 ], the province of Gerona [ 31 ], the region of Baix Llobregat [ 32 ], or the results gathered in the Guide of the Clinical Practice [ 33 ] are similar to ours. That is the reason why we consider that our results also represent Spain as a whole.…”

Background: Different interpretations of cognitive impairment and dementia due to differences in health structures, such as cultural differences could affect the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. it is reasonable to expect that the social and family impact of the disease and coping strategies will differ among societies.Objective: The general aim of this study is to understand the social representations of dementia, its associated practices, and the effects they imply.Methods: People diagnosed with clinical dementia and their families were assessed from 2005 to 2015 in the memory clinic of the Fundació ACE, Institut Català de Neurociències Aplicades in Barcelona, Spain.Results: 9,898 people were examined and 5,792 were diagnosed with dementia. For those with a caregiver (71%), the decision-making fell on the person with dementia in 16.2% of the cases; and for those without a caregiver, in 26.4% of the cases the family did not perceive the deficits as a disease, which led to multiple risk situations (74.6%).Conclusions: The recognition of dementia as part of aging is common among families. Consequently, risk situations may arise and diagnosis and access to treatment may be delayed. The incorporation of a social appraisal to the diagnostic process is a necessity to evaluate these situations.

“…Data were extracted from the following sources: The Registry of Dementias of Girona (ReDeGi) registers demographic and clinical data of all the incident cases of dementia diagnosed in the neurology or geriatrics outpatient consultation offices, or in the memory clinics of the seven hospitals of the public health care system of the province of Girona (Catalonia, Spain). The methodological principles of the ReDeGi have been previously described [33][34][35][36]. ReDeGi records the origin of the dementia cases included.…”

Background: The large number of dementia cases produces a great pressure on health and social care services, which requires efficient planning to meet the needs of patients through infrastructure, equipment, and financial, technical, and personal resources adjusted to their demands. Dementia analysis requires studies with a very precise patient characterization of both the disease and comorbidities present, and long-term follow-up of patients in clinical aspects and patterns of resource utilization and costs generated. Objective: To describe and quantify direct healthcare expenditure and its evolution from three years before and up to ten years after the diagnosis of dementia, compared to a matched group without dementia. Methods: Retrospective cohort design with follow-up from 6 to 14 years. We studied 996 people with dementia (PwD) and 2,998 controls matched for age, sex, and comorbidity. This paper adopts the provider’s perspective as the perspective of analysis and refers to the costs actually incurred in providing the services. Aggregate costs and components per patient per year were calculated and modelled. Results: Total health expenditure increases in PwD from the year of diagnosis and in each of the following 7 years, but not thereafter. Health status and mortality are factors explaining the evolution of direct costs. Dementia alone is not a statistically significant factor in explaining differences between groups. Conclusion: The incremental direct cost of dementia may not be as high or as long as studies with relatively short follow-up suggest. Dementia would have an impact on increasing disease burden and mortality.

“…16 La mayoría de los pacientes tenía como cuidador un hijo o el cónyuge, lo cual indica que buena parte de los casos son cuidados todavía a nivel domiciliar. El tiempo promedio desde la aparición de los síntomas hasta haberse hecho el diagnóstico fue de 38,4 meses (3,2 años), ligeramente mayor a lo reportado en otros estudios de registro, 17 lo cual es un indicador de que se requiere mayor instrucción en la población en general, para buscar atención profesional desde la aparición de los primeros síntomas.…”

“…La HTA fue el FR más frecuente, seguido de DSL, tabaquismo y DM 2 en forma general, y en todos los principales tipos de demencia, similar a lo incluido en otros reportes. 17 En cuanto a la gravedad de las demencias, el 45,2% correspondió a formas leves, lo que nuevamente refuerza el hecho de que debe incrementarse la información a la población general para buscar atención más temprana, ya que el restante 54,6% fueron moderadas o severas.…”
