Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.
Background: Pharmacoepidemiologic studies assessing drug effectiveness for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are increasingly popular given the critical need for effective therapies for ADRD. To meet the urgent need for robust dementia ascertainment from real-world data, we aimed to develop a novel algorithm for identifying incident and prevalent dementia in claims.
Method: We developed algorithm candidates by different timing/frequency of dementia diagnosis/treatment to identify dementia from inpatient/outpatient/prescription claims for 6,515 and 3,997 participants from Visits 5 (2011-2013; mean age 75.
Background: The therapeutic management of dementia with Lewy bodies (LBD) is a challenge given the high sensitivity to drugs in this disease. This is particularly sensitive with regard to the management of parkinsonism. In particular, treatment of motor symptoms with levodopa or dopaminergic agonists poses a risk of worsening cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA.
Dementia patients often received one clinical diagnosis, yet most of these cases present multiple underlying pathologies. Bringing the transition from clinical-based to biological-based diagnosis holds promise with the diagnostic criteria proposed by the Alzheimer's Association (AA) Revised Criteria for Diagnosis and Staging of Alzheimer's Disease and the Neuronal Synuclein Disease Integrated Staging System (NSD-ISS). This session aims to explore the practical implications of the AA revised criteria for diagnosing and designing clinical trials in Lewy body disease (LBD).

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.
Background: Some types of cancer have been associated with reduced risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Whether cancer history may be associated with neuropathological features of neurodegeneration or cerebrovascular disease is not well understood. We investigated the relation between cancer diagnosis and brain pathology in a sample of community-based research volunteers enrolled in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) cohort.

Participants learn new terms such as ARIA, edema and microhemorrhage and undergo numerous MRI scans for safety monitoring. They take quarterly composite Alzheimer's assessments that are anxiety-provoking and highlight weaknesses which may have been unrecognized in daily life.
