Impact of modifications to antidementia drug reimbursement in France: Analysis of the FRA-DEM cohort.

Aims: Alzheimer's disease and related diseases (ADRD) is a progressive and inexorable disease. In France, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine were reimbursed for subjects with ADRD, until 2 modifications of their reimbursement rate (2012, 2018). We aimed to study the consequences of these measures on ADRD subjects' healthcare use.

Healthcare use according to deprivation among French Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases subjects: a national cross-sectional descriptive study based on the FRA-DEM cohort.

Introduction: Pluriprofessional and coordinated healthcare use is recommended for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases (ADRD). Despite a protective health system, France is characterized by persistent and significant social inequalities in health. Although social health inequalities are well documented, less is known about social disparities in healthcare use in ADRD, especially in France.

Which factors preceding dementia identification impact future healthcare use trajectories: multilevel analyses in administrative data.

Background: Healthcare use patterns preceding a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases (ADRD) may be associated with the quality of healthcare use trajectories (HUTs) after diagnosis. We aimed to identify determinants of future favorable HUTs, notably healthcare use preceding ADRD identification.

Methods: This nationwide retrospective observational study was conducted on subjects with incident ADRD identified in 2012 in the French health insurance database.

Healthcare use patterns before Alzheimer's disease and related diseases identification and future healthcare trajectory.

Objectives: A frequent late Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases (ADRD) identification is described and may induce erratic health resource use. We aimed to describe healthcare use patterns preceding ADRD identification.

Methods: We studied persons aged 65 or older, identified with incident ADRD in 2012 in the French health insurance database.

Potential determinants of unfavourable healthcare utilisation trajectories during the last year of life of people with incident Alzheimer Disease or Related Syndromes: a nationwide cohort study using administrative data.

Background: people approaching the end-of-life frequently face inappropriate care. With Alzheimer Disease or Related Syndromes (ADRS), end-of-life is characterised by progressive decline, but this period remains difficult to identify. This leads to a lack of anticipation and sometimes with unfavourable healthcare utilisation trajectories (HUTs).
