Epidemiological evolution and healthcare services utilization in elderly dementia patients of Catalonia
Assessing the dynamics and burden of dementia is necessary to improve healthcare plans. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and characteristics of dementia diagnoses in Catalonia (North-East of Spain) and evaluate healthcare services utilization and associated expenditures in people with dementia compared with people without. Retrospective study including all the dementia population (2013–2020) using data from an administrative database…
Lithium management of periodic mood fluctuations in behavioural frontotemporal dementia
The behavioural variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by behavioural and cognitive symptoms. Mood disturbances, including manic-like episodes, can occur in bvFTD, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case report presents a 62-year-old male with bvFTD exhibiting weekly mood fluctuations alternating between manic and depressive-like states. While initial treatment with quetiapine and…
Medical help-seeking intentions among patients with early Alzheimer’s disease
Understanding the phenomenon of active medical help-seeking may facilitate the design of specific strategies to improve the detection of cognitive impairment, especially in patients with a lower level of educational attainment and poor awareness of their condition
Evolution of the consumption trend of proton pump inhibitors in the Lleida Health Region between 2002 and 2015
An increase in the prevalence of PPI dispensation was observed over 14 years of follow-up. The prevalence of dispensation was especially high for the population older than 65 years, despite the risk of cognitive decline and falls. Comprehensive actions are required to to increase rational prescribing of PPIs, especially in high-risk populations
Trends in the consumption rates of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-related drugs in the health region of Lleida from 2002 to 2015
The dispensing prevalence of BZDs and Z-drugs was high, although a small reduction was observed during this time period. The dispensing prevalence was especially high in the population over 65, despite the risk of cognitive decline and falls. Integral actions are required to lower the BZD prescription rate
