Optimising pharmaceutical care for people with dementia in acute care settings

为痴呆症患者提供适当的急性护理服务是澳大利亚的一项重大医疗挑战。痴呆症患者在医院得不到适当的护理，与非痴呆症患者相比，更有可能经历更糟糕的临床结果。该提案将建立首个大规模多中心痴呆症住院患者队列，以系统地研究住院对处方、临床和以患者为中心的结局的影响。

Delivering appropriate acute care services for people with dementia is a major healthcare challenge in Australia. People with dementia do not receive appropriate care in hospitals and are more likely to experience worse clinical outcomes compared to people without dementia. This proposal will establish the first large-scale multi-centre cohort of inpatients with dementia, to systematically investigate the impact of hospitalisation on prescribing, clinical and patient-centred outcomes.
