Case-Finding for Neurocognitive Disorders in Pavia
This Italian public health study is testing how well two early-detection programs find people with undiagnosed dementia or mild cognitive impairment in the Pavia region. Researchers are comparing three screening settings: general practitioners' offices, a dementia operations center, and community open days. They are also measuring the impact on patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. This is a Phase NA observational study, not a drug or treatment trial.
