One in 17 older adults hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome had a documented diagnosis of dementia at baseline, showing significant prevalence in this population.
Approximately 1 in 17 older adults hospitalized with ACS have a baseline diagnosis of dementia, highlighting a significant cognitive burden that varies by revascularization strategy.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
One in 17 older adults hospitalized with ACS had a documented diagnosis of dementia at baseline, with substantial variation by revascularization strategy. These findings highlight the baseline burden of dementia in this high-risk population and support the need for future research on the incidence and progression of cognitive impairment after ACS.
