We used PubMed to identify analyses published from 1 January, 2000 31 March, 2018. reviewed abstracted information each using two-reader consensus process. frequency methods which family/caregiver costs health were...
Although patients with dementia frequently experience neuropsychological symptoms (NPS) such as agitation, which profoundly impacts patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system, few studies have evaluated associated burden of agitation or agitation-related in dementia.This retrospective analysis claims data from Truven Health MarketScan® database (2012-2015) compared clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, resource utilization, costs among behavioral disturbances (BD) versus without...
Abstract Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited diseases characterized by progressive development renal cysts and numerous extra-renal manifestations, eventually leading to failure. Given its chronic nature, ADPKD expected carry a substantial economic burden over course disease. However, there paucity evidence on impact from societal perspective. This study aimed estimate direct indirect costs associated with in United States (US)....
Background: At least 90%of patients with dementia experience behavioral or neuropsychiatric symptoms including agitation, psychotic symptoms, apathy, depression, and sleep disturbances. Agitation has been reported to be experienced by 60%of mild cognitive impairment 76%of Alzheimer’s disease. Objective: We aimed assess the impact of agitation in on healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) costs. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis physician-reported patient data from point-in-time...

To describe characteristics and compare clinical outcomes including falls, fractures, infections, neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) among long-term care residents with dementia without agitation.A cross-sectional secondary analysis of administrative healthcare data was conducted whereby residing in a facility for ≥12 months were identified from the AnalytiCare LLC database (10/2010-06/2014) classified into mutually exclusive cohorts (Agitation Cohort or No-Agitation Cohort) based on available...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative form of dementia. Pharmacological therapies for symptomatic treatment, such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) and memantine, have been available in USA since 2000. Over past decade, few studies analyzed real-world anti-dementia treatment patterns USA. This study evaluated monotherapy AChEIs memantine among newly diagnosed AD patients. A retrospective cohort was conducted using Medicare data Minimum Data Set from 2008 to...
Agitation in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) may predict institutionalization. This study assessed the incremental risk and costs associated agitation AD.A retrospective analysis of National Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set (June 2005-February 2018) was conducted. Incremental institutionalization estimated used number institutionalized AD living by residential setting United States (literature-based), to estimate costs.The included 11,348 AD: 6603 (58.2%) 4745 (41.8%) without...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a far-reaching impact on both patients and care partners, which can be further compounded by frequent complications such as anemia. This study assessed the burden experienced with CKD partners of CKD, without anemia.Online survey.Adult adult living in United States were recruited through American Association Kidney Patients third-party online panel (January 9, 2020-March 12, 2020).Patient partner characteristics, received or provided; health-related quality...
Objective: This study used a decision-analytic framework to assess the cost-effectiveness of brexpiprazole vs comparator branded therapies for reducing relapses and hospitalizations among adults with schizophrenia from US payer perspective. Methods: An economic model was developed patients stable initiating treatment (1–4 mg), cariprazine (1–6 or lurasidone (40–80 mg) over 1-year period. After 6 months, remained on discontinued due relapse, adverse events, other reasons. Patients who relapse...
