Diagnosing dementia can be inconsistent due to varying guidelines. A systematic approach is needed to improve consistency in dementia diagnostic recommendations and reduce cost variability.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Geriatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Dementia diagnosis relies on various guidelines and consensus statements.
  • Current diagnostic recommendations show significant variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare and summarize diagnostic recommendations from dementia guidelines and consensus statements.
  • To identify inconsistencies in dementia diagnostic procedures and associated costs.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of 14 national/international guidelines and consensus statements on dementia diagnosis.
  • Independent review and consensus-building among authors on diagnostic criteria, referrals, and costs.

Main Results:

  • Nine documents were reviewed, revealing differences in content, methodology, and recommendations.

  • While core assessments were consistent, specific recommendations varied, leading to cost differences ($190-$2,001).

    • Conclusions:

    • The current approach to dementia diagnostic recommendations lacks consistency.
    • A systematic approach is proposed to enhance consistency and reduce cost variability in dementia diagnosis.
