Nevertheless, there are currently no robust estimates of the average time to diagnosis (TTD) and factors influencing diagnostic intervals. This article presents the first systematic review of quantitative studies on TTD in dementia and the factors associated with its duration. We systematically searched EMBASE, Psych INFO, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases for relevant studies published up to December 2024. We defined TTD as the interval between symptom onset (rated by family carers or patients using interviews or medical records) to final diagnosis. Risk of bias was assessed using the Reporting studies on time to diagnosis tool. We included 13 studies reporting data on 30,257 participants, with age at onset ranging between 54 and 93 years. Meta-analysis pooling 10 studies showed that average mean TTD across all types of dementia was 3.5 years [confidence interval (CI): 2.7–4.3; moderate quality evidence]. Analyses of six studies showed that TTD in young onset dementia was 4.1 years (CI: 3.4–4.9; moderate quality evidence). Although the factors influencing TTD were inconsistent, a younger age at onset and having frontotemporal dementia were consistently associated with a longer interval to diagnosis. TTD in dementia remains long, and specific healthcare strategies are urgently needed to improve it. Increasing the evidence base and developing interventions to reduce TTD should be a future research priority. Specialist services are likely to be key in improving TTD in young-onset dementia.</p>","PeriodicalId":14060,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry","volume":"40 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gps.70129","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144714851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the crimes committed by the study population before and after diagnosis. In the follow-up, we primarily focussed on the 4-year period and secondarily on the 10-year period after diagnosis. First, we measured the post-diagnostic crime rates in patients who had committed crimes before diagnosis and in those who had not; we also calculated the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of post-diagnosis crimes in these groups. Second, we calculated the cumulative incidence of first post-diagnoses crimes and investigated the risk of the first post-diagnoses crime by calculating the adjusted subhazard ratio (sHR) in pre-diagnosis offenders and non-offenders.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Most of the study population did not exhibit criminal behaviour before or after diagnosis.

The age- and sex-adjusted sHR for the occurrence of the first post-diagnosis crime was 4.42 (95% confidence interval: 3.83–5.11) in AD, 4.36 (2.15–8.83) in FTD and 4.87 (3.88–6.12) in LBD in pre-diagnosis offenders versus non-offenders.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Individuals with a history of criminal behaviour before diagnosis of a neurocognitive disorder showed higher rates and a higher risk of future criminal activity.

The average total case cost in 2019 was CHF 34,917 (<i>σ</i> = 32,926), corresponding to a daily cost of CHF 946 (<i>σ</i> = 373.44). Patients were treated for an average of 39.7 (<i>σ</i> = 32.40) days. In 2019, the total costs billed according to TARPSY for 57,939 days of hospital care for dementia as the primary diagnosis were CHF 51.3 million. The case costs differed by region and hospital type. Overall, cost homogeneity for total case cost as a proxy for the quality of the cost calculation was “satisfactory, sufficient” and did not show a clear trend towards improvement during the introduction of TARPSY.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Discussion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Our analysis provides reliable, case-level cost data for dementia hospital treatment in Switzerland.

Our objective was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Stigma Impact Scale in a global sample of people with dementia.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Data were analysed from the World Alzheimer Report including 710 participants in 42 countries who completed the SIS. Detailed psychometric analyses of the SIS included estimating reliability, convergent validity with the Warwick-Edinburgh mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and the Dementia Quality of Life instrument (DQoL), the factor structure of the measure (through both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The SIS and its subscales had ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha: 0.883–0.943). However, convergent validity correlations were not in the predicted direction; no significant correlations were noted between the SIS and the WEMWBS and DQoL. Factor analysis suggested marginal improvements in global fit indices for the observed model compared to the theoretical model, though none met the thresholds for acceptable fit. The final proposed model had three factors: rejection and secrecy, loneliness and belonging and perceived social isolation.
