The lancet. Healthy longevity·2026

This study investigates pain and behavioral symptoms in hospitalized dementia patients. Poor pain management is linked to worsening behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD), highlighting care improvement needs.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Hospitalized individuals with dementia frequently experience suboptimal care, especially concerning behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and pain management.
  • Limited UK research exists on the prevalence and nature of pain and BPSD in this patient population during acute hospital admissions.
  • The impact of pain and BPSD on patients, caregivers, staff, and healthcare costs in acute hospital settings remains understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence and characteristics of pain and BPSD in older adults with dementia admitted to acute care.
  • To analyze the impact of pain and BPSD on patient outcomes, caregivers, staff, and healthcare costs.
  • To test the hypothesis that inadequate pain management exacerbates BPSD in hospitalized dementia patients.

Main Methods:

  • Recruitment of older adults with dementia experiencing unplanned acute medical admissions.
  • Assessment of BPSD using the Behaviour in Alzheimer's Disease (Behave-AD) and Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) scales.
  • Evaluation of pain prevalence and severity using the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) scale and the FACES pain scale.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of the relationship between pain management and the severity of BPSD.
  • Quantification of the impact of BPSD and pain on various patient and healthcare system outcomes.
  • Identification of specific challenges in managing pain and BPSD in the acute hospital environment.

Conclusions:

  • Demonstrating the significant costs associated with BPSD in individuals with dementia and the healthcare system.
  • Providing crucial evidence to advocate for enhanced care quality for dementia patients in acute hospitals.
  • Laying the groundwork for developing targeted staff training programs and alternative treatment strategies for BPSD in acute care settings.
