Abstract
Objective: The rise in dementia prevalence, particularly in lower- and middle-income countries (LMIC), places a significant burden on healthcare systems. However, comprehensive data on dementia hospital admissions are scarce.
Methods: We analyzed admission rates for dementia, cost of hospital admissions, lengths of hospital stay, and in-hospital deaths in 2010 and 2019 in Brazil.
Results: Admission rates declined from 19.7/100,000 inhabitants in 2010 to 14.6/100,000 in 2019. In-hospital mortality increased from 3.9% in 2010 to 8.8% in 2019, particularly for short-term stays. Although 9.6% of hospital admissions occurred in regions with lower economic power in 2010 and 10.4% in 2019, these regions had higher mortality, reaching 4.3% of in-hospital deaths in 2010 and 9.3% in 2019.
Conclusion: The observed trends, alongside sex and regional disparities, underscore the need for targeted investment in healthcare infrastructure and training to improve dementia care in LMIC.
Highlights: The rate of hospital admissions for dementia was similar in 2010 and 2019 in Brazil.The cost per hospital admission in 2010 decreased by 38.5% compared with 2019.There was an increase in short-term hospital stays for dementia in 2019 compared to 2010, accompanied by an increase in mortality rates for these short-term stays.While hospital admissions for dementia decreased in men and increased in women, the in-hospital mortality due to dementia increased for both sexes.
期刊介绍：
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM) is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal from the Alzheimer''s Association® that will publish new research that reports the discovery, development and validation of instruments, technologies, algorithms, and innovative processes. Papers will cover a range of topics interested in the early and accurate detection of individuals with memory complaints and/or among asymptomatic individuals at elevated risk for various forms of memory disorders. The expectation for published papers will be to translate fundamental knowledge about the neurobiology of the disease into practical reports that describe both the conceptual and methodological aspects of the submitted scientific inquiry. Published topics will explore the development of biomarkers, surrogate markers, and conceptual/methodological challenges. Publication priority will be given to papers that 1) describe putative surrogate markers that accurately track disease progression, 2) biomarkers that fulfill international regulatory requirements, 3) reports from large, well-characterized population-based cohorts that comprise the heterogeneity and diversity of asymptomatic individuals and 4) algorithmic development that considers multi-marker arrays (e.g., integrated-omics, genetics, biofluids, imaging, etc.) and advanced computational analytics and technologies.
