Aim:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an early screening of cognitive impairment in rehabilitation units, and the proportion of cognitive impairments (in particular, Alzheimer's disease) among this population.
Methods:
This is a multicentric, non-interventional, epidemiological, transverse, projective and comprehensive study of five French rehabilitation units.
Results:
This study on 279 people over 75 years found 105 new cases of cognitive impairments, among which 62 cases of dementia.
Conclusion:
These findings show the interest of generalizing cognitive impairments screening when entering a rehabilitation unit, in coordination with memory consultations and general practitioners.
