Dementia services in Canada

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY, Issue 9 2010
Kenneth Rockwood
Canadians with dementia have access to Medicare, a universal, single payer healthcare program. Implementation of Medicare is through the provinces and territories, giving variation in the level of care available. At present, there is no national strategy for dementia, although a recent report from the Alzheimer Society of Canada is expected to catalyze one. Most dementia care is provided by primary care practitioners, with three specialties (geriatric psychiatry, geriatric medicine and neurology) providing consultant expertise. Primary care reforms are aimed at developing a more coordinated approach to the complex needs of people with dementia, and have especially emphasized education of providers. Any national strategy is expected to underscore prevention and research, the latter building on Canada's strong contribution to this international undertaking.

A comparison of GMS-A/AGECAT, DSM-III-R for dementia and depression, including subthreshold depression (SD),results from the Berlin Aging Study (BASE)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY, Issue 2 2003
R. T. Schaub
Abstract Background Empirical evaluation of the agreement between different diagnostic approaches is crucial for the understanding of epidemiological results in geriatric psychiatry. Objectives In this paper, we analyse differences between widely used diagnostic approaches of dementia and depression and offer evidence that diagnostic thresholds vary substantially on quantitative dimensions, but that conceptual and other differences between approaches must also been taken into account. Methods In an epidemiological study of n,=,516 persons, aged 70,103 years, we compared psychiatric diagnoses of dementia and depression obtained by GMS-A/HAS-AGECAT, DSM-III-R and clinician's diagnoses of subthreshold depression (SD). Results For depression, cumulative prevalence of clinician's diagnosis (including SD, GMS-A/HAS-AGECAT and DSM-III-R defined forms) was highest, followed by GMS-A/HAS-AGECAT-diagnosis and DSM-III-R, while for dementia DSM-III-R was followed by GMS-A/HAS-AGECAT. Overall agreement between DSM-III-R and GMS-A/HAS-AGECAT was moderate. Adapting thresholds for AGECAT resulted in slightly better diagnostic efficiency. Diagnostic disagreement was found predominantly for cases with intermediate symptom severity, supporting the hypothesis of differing thresholds between DSM-III-R and GMS-A/HAS-AGECAT, while cases with lower or higher symptom severity were similarily seen as cases or non-cases. Conclusion Disagreement is not only caused by conceptual differences, but also different thresholds of diagnostic algorithms. Adaptation of threshold levels should be feasible, depending on the purpose of the analysis. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

Electroconvulsive Therapy: Issues in the Elderly

PSYCHOGERIATRICS, Issue 4 2002
Arunava Das
Abstract: The elderly psychiatrically ill constitute a high proportion of the patients who receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). There is evidence to say that the efficacy of ECT may be enhanced in the elderly. Clinical and biological markers are increasingly being recognised as predictors of outcome to ECT. The doses of anticholinergic, anaesthetic and relaxant agents may need to be modified in accordance with physiological changes associated with aging. ECT stimulus and ECT technique should be selected against the background of increased seizure threshold and possibility of greater ECT-induced cognitive dysfunction in the elderly, particularly those with pre-existing cognitive or neurologic impairment. New brain-imaging techniques and biochemical measures of brain damage have proved that ECT does not cause brain damage. The physical risk with ECT is considered to be low. There is some evidence to say that cardiovascular complications reported with ECT are related to the nature of pre-existing cardiac disease. Although the short-term response to ECT in the elderly is quite good, post-ECT relapse rates are quite high. Continuation-maintenance ECT has a definite role in minimising relapses and recurrences in the elderly, taking care not to enhance physical and cognitive risks. With increasing administration of outpatient ECT, it is important to refine methods for monitoring patients for adverse effects of treatment. The roles of repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in geriatric psychiatry are yet to be established. [source]
