abstract = {With the availability of first disease-modifying
treatments, evidence on costs across the entire Alzheimer's
Continuum, especially for early disease stages, becomes
increasingly important to inform healthcare planning,
resource allocation, and policy decisions. This study
assessed costs and cost-associated factors in patients with
subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive
impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) dementia
compared to healthy controls.The German DELCODE cohort study
assessed clinical data, healthcare resource use, and
informal care provision. Costs were calculated from payer
and societal perspectives using standardized unit costs, and
multivariate regression analyses identified cost-associated
factors.From a payer perspective, costs were elevated by
$26\%$ for SCD (adjusted mean 5,976€ $[95\%CI$
4,598-7,355€]), $85\%$ for MCI (8,795€
[6,200-11,391€]) and $36\%$ for AD (6,454€
[2,796-10,111€]) compared to controls (4,754€
[3,586-5,922€]). Societal costs were elevated by $52\%$
for SCD (adjusted mean 8,377€ $[95\%CI$ 6,009-10,746€]),
$170\%$ for MCI (14,886€ [9,524-20,248€]) and $307\%$
for AD (22,481€ [9,994-34,969€]) compared to controls
(5,522€ [3,814-7,230€]). APOE e4 negative patients
showed higher costs compared to APOE e4 positive patients.
Hypertension was associated with higher costs.Healthcare
costs are already elevated in early subjective and objective
cognitive impairment, driven by formal and informal care.
The study emphasizes the importance of early interventions
to reduce the economic burden and delay progression.},
