Assessing Risk Factors for Cognitive Decline Using Electronic Health Record Data: A Scoping Review.

Background: The data and information contained within electronic health records (EHR) provide a rich, diverse, longitudinal view of real-world patient histories, offering valuable opportunities to study antecedent risk factors for cognitive decline. However, the extent to which such records' data have been utilized to elucidate the risk factors of cognitive decline remains unclear.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA guideline, examining articles published between January 2010 and April 2023, from PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL.
