Physician Diagnosis and Knowledge of Mild Cognitive Impairment
Journal of Alzheimers Disease | | January 4th, 2022
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) receive fewer guideline-concordant treatments for multiple health conditions than those with normal cognition. Reasons for this disparity are unclear.
These findings suggest that physicians have a poor understanding of MCI. Our results suggest that interventions that improve physician knowledge of MCI are needed.
