abstract = {BACKGROUND: Information on the survival of people living
with dementia over time and across systems can help
policymakers understand the real-world impact of dementia on
health and social care systems. This multinational cohort
study examines the trends in relative mortality risk
following a dementia diagnosis.A common protocol was applied
to population-based data from the UK, Germany, Finland,
Canada (Ontario), New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong
Kong. Individuals aged 60+ with an incident dementia
diagnosis recorded between 2000 and 2018 were followed until
death or the end of the study period. Cox proportional
hazards regression was used to assess the association of
mortality in dementia patients with the year of dementia
diagnosis.Data from 1,272,495 individuals, with the mean age
at diagnosis ranging from 76.8 years (South Korea) to 82.9
years (Germany), show that the overall median length of
survival following recorded diagnosis ranges from 2.4 years
(New Zealand) to 7.9 years (South Korea). Hazard ratios
(HRs) estimated from Cox proportional hazard models decline
consistently over the study period in the UK, Canada, South
Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, which accounted for $84\%$ of
all participants. For example, the HR decreases from 0.97
$(95\%$ CI: 0.92-1.02) in 2001 to 0.72 (0.65-0.79) in 2016
in comparison to year 2000 in the UK.This study shows a
steady trend of decreasing risk of mortality in five out of
eight databases, which signals the potential positive effect
of dementia plans and associated policies and provides
reference for future policy evaluation.},
