The main outcome measure was the proportion of patients using cardiovascular drugs. Demographical and clinical variables included age, sex, dementia type, and cardiovascular co-diagnoses. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between cardiovascular drug use and these variables.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    We identified 7,987 and 1,268 dementia patients with and without prescriptions for cardiovascular drugs, respectively. The share of individuals who received cardiovascular treatments was 86.3%. Diuretics (20.9%), beta blocking agents (20.0%), and ACE inhibitors (17.4%) were the three most commonly prescribed types of medications. Patients between the ages of 71\u201380 (OR\u200a=\u200a1.59), 81\u201390 (OR\u200a=\u200a1.61), and over 90 years (OR\u200a=\u200a1.48) were more likely to receive cardiovascular drugs than patients under the age of 70 years. Moreover, compared to those with unspecified dementia, individuals with Alzheimer\u2019s disease had a lower chance while those with vascular dementia had a higher chance of being prescribed these drugs (ORs equal to 0.81 and 1.22, respectively). Finally, we found a positive association between the use of cardiovascular drugs and all co-diagnoses (ORs ranging from 1.23 to 7.12).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The prevalence of cardiovascular drug use in dementia patients was around 86%. This use was significantly associated with such factors as age, type of dementia, and co-diagnoses.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-161234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,7]],"date-time":"2017-02-07T10:41:47Z","timestamp":1486464107000},"page":"1519-1524","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence of Use of Cardiovascular Drugs in Dementia Patients Treated in General Practices in Germany"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Louis","family":"Jacob","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Paris 5, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Bohlken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Praxis Bohlken, Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karel","family":"Kostev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology, IMS Health, Frankfurt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","unstructured":"WHO (2015) 10 facts on dementia.
