摘要：

Medicare records on 477 Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease patients with AD for 1991 through 1995 showed a hospitalization rate of 0.37/person-year with a length of stay of 3.7 days/person-year (average of 10 days/hospitalization). Unmarried and less-educated patients with AD were admitted to the hospital more frequently, and, along with black patients, had a longer length of stay. Frequency and duration of hospitalization were greater in the patients with AD than in Medicare beneficiaries in general, but the rate of diagnostic/therapeutic procedures was lower.
