Evidence-based Dementia Practice By
2002 | 909 Pages | ISBN: 0632052961 | PDF | 10 MB
The era of therapeutic nihilism in dementia has ended, with the emergence of agents for symptomatic treatment, those that delay the course of the disease or prevent the onset of dementia, and new methods to manage symptoms. With the expansion of therapies, there is a clear danger of being overwhelmed by the volume of data. This book is designed to collect this information, distil what is relevant and reliable, and present it in a format that is useful to clinicians who manage and treat people with dementia. The book is designed to bring together the latest, best and practical evidence on all aspects of management, from diagnosis and therapy to social and ethical considerations. The editors are all dynamic clinicians involved in the care of patients with dementia and the evaluation of therapies. Two of the editors are the leaders of the Cochrane Collaboration for the examination of therapies for dementia. There are no other books that take such a practical and problem-oriented or approach to the diagnosis and management of dementia. Furthermore none but this can be described as truely evidence-based.Content: Chapter I.1 Introduction (pages 1-5): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.2 Finding the Evidence (pages 6-11): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.3 Critical Appraisal (pages 12-13): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.4 Evidence?based Etiology and Harm (pages 14-17): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.5 Evidence?based Diagnosis (pages 18-25): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.6 Evidence?based Prognosis (pages 26-30): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.7 Evidence?based Interventions (pages 31-41): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.8 Evidence?based Systematic Reviews and Meta?Analyses (pages 42-59): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.9 Evidence?based Guidelines (pages 60-63): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.10 Evidence?based Economic Evaluation (pages 64-70): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.11 Accessing and Using the Best Evidence Efficiently in Dementia (pages 71-73): Nawab QizilbashChapter I.12 Evidence?based Audit: Evaluating Implementation (pages 74-78): Nawab QizilbashChapter II.1 Introduction (pages 79-85): Helena ChuiChapter II.2 Practice Guidelines (pages 86-91): Helena ChuiChapter II.3 Reaching a Diagnosis of Dementia (pages 92-105): Helena Chui, Mary C.
