This report demonstrates the use of national survey data to evaluate the characteristics of Emergency Department (ED) visits among patients living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).
A conversation with Tiffany Kindratt, PhD, MPH on the challenge in categorizing sociodemographic characteristics when looking at health outcomes.
BRFSS data (2013–2018) on cognitive functioning and dementia caregiving, merged with demographics and state FIPS codes for state-level estimates. The repository includes datasets, codebooks, and programming scripts.
This MEPS dataset (2015–2019) links dementia diagnoses to healthcare spending, demographics, and utilization, enabling national estimates with supporting files and scripts.
This project compiles twelve annual NHIS datasets (2007–2018) identifying respondents with self-reported memory issues, including sociodemographic and cognition variables. The repository provides detailed descriptions, data files, codebooks, and programming scripts.
Code and datasets for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s research using NHANES data (2011–12, 2013–14). Includes standardized cognition variables from CERAD, Animal Fluency, and DSST tests, along with sociodemographic data, available in SAS, Stata, and CSV formats.
Using 2014–2019 NHAMCS data, this study identifies emergency visits where patients were diagnosed with or had ADRD. The datasets also include information on the reason for visit and sociodemographic characteristics.
This dataset reports 2019 Medicare claims, events, and beneficiary counts in hospitals, EDs, and SNFs, comparing those with and without ADRD. Data are available at the facility level in SAS, Stata, and CSV formats.
The Bynum-Standard 1-Year Algorithm is a decision-making framework designed to evaluate and optimize short-term strategies or actions over a one-year timeframe, prioritizing efficiency and measurable outcomes.
The Lancet Commission has recently updated its life-course model of modifiable dementia risk factors to include vision impairment, based on research led by Dr. Joshua Ehrlich, MD, MPH.
