What this trial studies

This study aims to develop a regional database to identify predictive factors associated with changes in functional autonomy levels in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. It will involve a cohort of approximately 5400 patients who will be monitored every 6 to 12 months across various centers in the Auvergne Rhone-Alpes region of France. The study will collect patient medical records on a prospective basis, collaborating with medical and administrative staff as well as university hospital computer science departments. The focus is on understanding the progression of cognitive impairment and its impact on daily functioning.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients aged 18 and older with memory impairment who are undergoing medical visits in memory centers or neuro-cognition services.

Not a fit: Patients living in institutions or those with impairments that prevent examinations may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better understanding and management of memory disorders, potentially improving patient care and outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored predictive factors in memory disorders, this specific approach of developing a regional database is relatively novel.
