Markers of hospitalisation patterns according to dementia severity

There is little information available from routine healthcare data resources on the stages of deterioration in dementia (mild, moderate and severe) and/or the duration of each stage, despite the very large numbers of people affected and their importance for health and social care costs. This study aims to develop a mechanism to determine stage of and progression of dementia in clinical records databases based on comorbidities and patterns of primary/acute care service use.

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.
