Identifying frequency and clinical characteristics of psychiatric-onset Lewy Body Dementia

  • Applicant: Christoph Mueller
  • Project ID: 21-110

For a proportion of people who go on to develop dementia with Lewy bodies, the first symptoms they report are psychiatric ones such as hallucinations and delusions. We want to identify everyone over 50 who has reported hallucinations or delusions for the first time, we then want to follow these subjects to see how many are diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies and what factors predict a dementia diagnosis.

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.
