In the near future, we will see the approval of antibody therapies. The study aims to demonstrate the recent anti-dementia medication prescriptions and diagnosis prevalence.Data from 357 general practitioner (GP) and 71 specialist practices (SP) (1.1 Mio. patients) were analyzed to demonstrate the prevalence of dementia diagnoses and anti-dementia drug prescriptions between 2010 and 2021.The diagnosis prevalence of PWD (Alzheimer's dementia) remained relatively constant in GP practices at $1.0-1.3\%$ $(0.19-0.21\%).$ Among SP, the prevalence increased from $4.9\%$ $(2.8\%)$ to $5.9\%$ $(3.6\%).$ The anti-dementia prescription rate decreased in GP (from $0.14\%$ to $0.10\%)$ and increased in SP practices (from $2.1\%$ to $2.4\%).The$ diagnosis and prescription rate, especially in GP practices, remained below the prevalence forecasts and the expected prescriptions.}, keywords = {Alzheimer Disease: drug therapy / Alzheimer Disease: epidemiology / Alzheimer Disease: diagnosis / Humans / Germany / Aged / General Practice: statistics $\&$ numerical data / Male / Female / Aged, 80 and over / Practice Patterns, Physicians': statistics $\&$ numerical data / Forecasting / Drug Prescriptions: statistics $\&$ numerical data / Cross-Sectional Studies / Dementia: drug therapy / Dementia: epidemiology / Nootropic Agents: therapeutic use / Nootropic Agents (NLM Chemicals)}, cin = {AG Michalowsky}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-2719)5000067}, pnm = {353 - Clinical and Health Care Research (POF4-353)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-353}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:39384316}, doi = {10.1055/a-2370-1933}, url = {https://pub.dzne.de/record/275906}, }
