Background: Cognitive problems are thought to increase vulnerability to geriatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to increased fall risk, but little is known about prevalence of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among elders who receive treatment for a TBI.
Method: Enrollees 65 and older in the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study (HRS) who consented to link survey data to Medicare claims and without a TBI prior to enrollment were studied. We used claims 2000-2018 to obtain incident TBI diagnoses, defined using inpatient and outpatient International Classification of Disease (ICD) 9 and 10 codes received the same day as an emergency room (ER) visit code and a computed tomography (CT) scan code.
Background: Plasma amyloid and tau levels are known to be associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In recent years, digital cognitive assessment has been increasingly recognized as a potential tool for long-term cognitive monitoring. This study aims to explore the potential of digital cognitive metrics as efficient and low-cost alternatives to plasma biomarkers.
