Dementia Management Act and Death Toll by Dementia Drug

Article scientifique 2021 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract The Dementia Management Act (DMA) came into effect on August 04, 2011, in South Korea. Medical data on the correlation between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and anti-AD drug (AAD) groups were observed from 2010 to 2019. This study investigated the increase and decrease in deaths and AAD used to treat AD. It is known that psychotropic medicines should not be administered for dementia patients because they increase all-cause mortality. This study demonstrated that acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist also increase the death toll when used to treat dementia.
