Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are less likely to receive guideline-concordant treatment for cardiovascular disease and other conditions. Our team conducted a study to explore how a patient’s MCI diagnosis influences physician decision-making for treatment recommendations.
Older patients with pre-existing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) receive less evidence-based care after acute myocardial infarction, however, whether they receive less care after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is unknown. We compared receipt of guideline-concordant procedures after AIS between older adults with pre-existing MCI and normal cognition.
