Causes and outcomes of hospitalization in Lewy body dementia: a retrospective cohort study.
Understanding hospitalization in Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a known knowledge gap. In this study, the authors aimed to identify common causes, medication profiles, complications, and outcomes of hospitalization in LBD. The investigators concluded that the most common reasons for hospitalization in LBD are potentially modifiable. They indicated that opportunities for improved care include increased involvement of neurological and psychiatric services, delirium prevention strategies, and reduced antipsychotic use.
