%X Main objective was to analyze the associations of patient variables (depression, quality of life, anti-dementia drug treatment, knowledge about dementia) with the assignment of a formal diagnosis of dementia to community-dwelling primary care patients who have screened positive for dementia.DelpHi-MV (Dementia: life- and person-centered help in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) is a general practitioner based randomized controlled intervention trial. Present analyses are based on cross-sectional data of 319 positively screened patients (age 70+, living at home) who had not been formally diagnosed with dementia before the screening. The medical diagnoses (ICD-10) were retrieved from the patient's medical records. Depression (Geriatric Depression Scale; GDS), quality of life in Alzheimer's disease (Qol-AD), knowledge about dementia, and anti-dementia drug treatment were assessed after the screening test at the baseline examination.At the baseline examination, 171 out of 319 patients (54
