People with Alzheimer s disease (AD) are less likely to have cataract surgery than people without Alzheime s disease. The procedure rate starts to decrease already one year after the diagnosis, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The lower likelihood of cataract surgery among people with cognitive disorders has been reported previously. This study is the first to report an association between the AD diagnosis and a lower incidence of cataract surgery, and a decrease in the procedure rate related to the time since the diagnosis.
The decrease in the incidence of cataract surgery among people with newly diagnosed AD is concerning because the benefits of this low-risk procedure would probably be similar for people with and without AD.

The risk of both mortality and rehospitalisation after an elective revascularisation procedure for coronary artery disease is similar for people with and without Alzheimer s disease (AD), but people with AD had worse outcomes after an emergency procedure, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
Previous studies have investigated the effectiveness of revascularisation in persons with cognitive disorders, but only in terms of short-term outcomes and in acute care settings, and they also have not accounted for electivity. Similar to previous studies, people with Alzheimer s disease were 76% less likely to undergo a revascularisation procedure and only a third of the procedures were elective, compared to 48.6% of elective procedures in the comparison group without AD.
