Recording of dementia diagnosis in general hospital settings: Retrospective cohort study

  • Applicant: Andrew Sommerlad
  • Project ID: 16-042

In this study, we will use data from the CRIS system and compare it with general medical hospital records to establish whether dementia is accurately diagnosed in general hospitals. We will look at whether factors such as age, gender or type of dementia, make it more or less likely that these diagnoses are accurately recorded.

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.
