Veterans Affairs Maryland Health Care System, Baltimore, MD Abstract: Objective: Our objective was to determine how patient demographics and outpatient referrals to specialized dementia (DEM) or mental health (MH) clinics influence receipt of anti-dementia (AD), antidepressant (ADEP), antipsychotic (APSY) and sedative-hypnotic (SEDH) medications among veterans with dementia. Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional observational study. Setting: Veterans Affairs Maryland Health Care System (VAMHCS). Participants: Veterans aged ≥ 60 years with Alzheimer’s or related dementia diagnosis after 1999 with minimum of one-year follow- up or death were included. Measurements: Retrospective analysis of VAMHCS electronic medical records were used to determine predictors of AD, ADEP, APSY, and SEDH prescribing using logistic regression models that examined visits to DEM or MH clinics, patient age, follow-up time, race/ethnicity and marital status.
