Authors
Abstract
Limited cohort studies have assessed the association between uncontrolled pain and risk for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSDs). We conducted a longitudinal cohort study to examine whether associations exist between uncontrolled pain and risk for 2 common BPSDs-depression and behavioral symptoms-among long-term care (LTC) residents with Alzheimer disease and related dementia (ADRD).
