Standardizing Care for Neuropsychiatric Symptoms and Quality of Life in Dementia (NCT03672201)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The object of this study to evaluation an Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) to treat Aggression and Agitation in Alzheimer's disease (AD-AA). The ICP is an algorithmic approach to use psychotropic medications and non-pharmacological interventions based on standardized assessments which fosters measurement-based decision making. This study will assess the efficacy of the ICP to treat AD-AA and its impact on inappropriate use of medications in inpatient settings and Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF). The investigators will enroll and randomize 220 participants with AD-AA (110 inpatient and 110 LTCFs) to ICP vs. Treatment As Usual. Further, this study will also examine the impact of the ICP on caregiver burden and undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis of the ICP for patients with AD-AA.
