The number of patients seen increased substantially (per MC\/year: 1998: 130; 2023: 324; total: 1998: 1560; 2023: 28,848). The proportion of patients diagnosed with dementia decreased from 80% in 1998 to 47% in 2023. Most commonly available assessments were neuroimaging (100%), routine laboratory testing of blood (98%) and neuropsychological assessment (NPA; 98%). Thirty-one percent indicated infrastructure needed to be changed before prescribing monoclonal antibody treatments for Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MCs showed substantial development in number, number of patients and geographical distribution within the country.
