Causes, consequences and costs of injury-related hospitalisations for people with dementia: identifying opportunities for prevention and enhanced management

痴呆症患者的住院率更高，健康状况比同龄无痴呆症的人更差。损伤是痴呆症患者住院治疗的最常见原因，但对痴呆症患者的住院治疗经验知之甚少。这项研究将探讨痴呆症对住院，临床护理，健康结果和受伤老年人的经济成本的影响，以告知政策和实践。

People with dementia have higher hospitalisation rates and poorer health outcomes than those of similar age without dementia. Injury is the most common cause of hospitalisation for people with dementia, however little is known about the hospitalisation experience for people with dementia who have an injury. This research will explore the influence of dementia on hospital admissions, clinical care, health outcomes and economic costs of older people with an injury to inform policy and practice.
