The clinical and economic burden among caregivers of patients with Alzheimer disease in Canada
International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Aug 01, 2019
Szabo S, et al. - Using real-world data from the Southwestern Ontario database, researchers assessed the clinical and direct medical economic burden among individuals who cohabitate with AD patients (AD caregiver cohort; n = 2,749; mild AD: n = 2,254, moderate AD: n = 302, and severe AD, n = 193) vs older adults who were living with another adult without dementia (comparison cohort; n = 12,152). Compared to older adults who were not dementia caregivers, caregivers of patients with mild AD reported a comparable clinical and direct economic burden, but caregivers of moderate and severe AD patients reported a much greater burden.
