Objective: Few studies have investigated trajectories in care among patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), especially Veterans who experience a unique set of AD risk factors and challenges in access to AD immunotherapy in the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VAHS) of the United States.
Methods: We analyzed trajectories in care based on electronic health records (EHR) among Veterans who were assessed for AD based on ICD-10 coding within the VAHS between Oct 2015 and Jan 2024. Among Veterans with an ICD-10 code for AD in the VAHS, we examined frequency distributions of clinical visits by physician specialty (primary care, neurologist, geriatrician, psychiatrist, and other specialties) where the initial AD ICD-10 coding was recorded.
