Beneficiaries of Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease

Number of beneficiaries of Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (DPMA92) * * * Set up in 2007 and specific to the Department of Hauts-de-Seine, the Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (DPMA92) is a survey that makes it possible to know the state of health of the elderly with regard to Alzheimer’s disease during the first application for Personalised Independence Allowance (PAA) at home. This dataset offers the details of this survey by distinguishing beneficiaries diagnosed, symptomatic and asymptomatic. **Lexic** DPMA92 = Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease in Hauts-de-Seine IADLS = simplified scale of instrumental activities of everyday life. The simplified scale of IADL was created from the IADL “Instrumental Activities of Daily Living” scale developed by Lawton and Brody. This tool makes it possible to evaluate the autonomy of the person in certain so-called “instrumental” activities of daily life around 4 items: ability to use public transportation, telephone, take medication and manage finances. Two digits make it possible to synthesise the results: \- the sum (from 0 to 11) of the values assigned to each activity, the number of activities disrupted for an unexplained cause. Diagnosed = recipients of DPMA92 who already had a diagnosis of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or related prior to the medico-social assessment visit carried out as part of the APA application at home. Symptomatic = recipients of DPMA92 with symptoms of higher function and undiagnosed or unknown whether they were diagnosed prior to the medico-social assessment visit carried out as part of the home APA application; these people are the target of DPMA92. Asymptomatic = recipients of DPMA92 not showing symptoms of dementia at the time of the medico-social assessment visit carried out in the framework application for APA at home. APA = Personalised Autonomy Allowance GIR = iso-resource group. Iso-resource groups measure a person’s loss of autonomy. In the number of 6 they are established from the national evaluation grid AGGIR (Autonomy, gerontology, iso-resource groups): the GIR 1 corresponds to the highest degree of loss of physical and psychological autonomy and GIR 5 and 6 correspond to people with little or no dependency. GIR 1 = loss of mental, bodily, locomotor and social autonomy, requiring the indispensable and continuous presence of stakeholders. Gir 2 = persons confined to bed or chair whose mental functions are not completely altered, requiring care for most of the activities of the everyday life as well as people whose mental functions are impaired but who have retained their locomotor abilities. GIR 3 = people who have retained their mental autonomy, partially their locomotor autonomy, requiring daily and several times a day help to their body autonomy. GIR 4 = people who do not take alone their “transfers” (rise, lie down, sit) but who, once raised, can move within a dwelling. They sometimes need to be helped for toileting and dressing, the vast majority eat on their own. Also belong to this group, people who have no problems locomotors, which must be assisted for toileting, dressing and meals.
