The impact of infection on dementia progression: Quantifying the association of infection with outcomes among people with dementia

  • Applicant: Angelique Mavrodaris
  • Project ID: 19-015

People with dementia could be at higher risk of being admitted to hospital with infections, which may affect their condition. This study seeks to establish whether infections resulting in hospital admissions are associated with worse health outcomes in people with dementia, what the added risk of infection is and which particular patients may be at increased risk of hospitalised infection.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
