To determine the frequency of diagnosis of Non-Alzheimer Dementias compared with Alzheimer’s dementia or Generic Dementia within a secondary care sample using the Case Records Interactive System (CRIS)

  • Applicant: Clive Ballard
  • Project ID: 15-072

We aim to find out how often different types of dementia are diagnosed and whether the frequency of different dementias matches population studies. We will also look at changes in diagnostic practice over the last 7 years. A final aim is to explore the potential value of CRIS as a recruitment tool for BRC and BRU studies of non-Alzheimer dementias.

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.
