    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the influence of case management and its corresponding computer-assisted assessment system on the quality improvement of dementia care.
    Methods: This observational study enrolled 2029 patients and their caregivers at Changhua Christian Hospital in Taiwan. Physicians who made the diagnosis of dementia would introduce the patient and caregiver dyad to the case manager-centered collaborative care team after obtaining agreement. The achievement rates of 11 quality indicators (QIs) comprising timely diagnostic evaluations, regular screens of cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms, caregiver support, and proper medication prescriptions were counted. Different timeframes (≤4 months, 4 months-1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, or ≥3 years) from diagnosis of dementia to collaborative care intervention were compared.
    Results: A significantly higher attainment rate was achieved for patients with earlier entry into the collaborative team model, including QIs about timely diagnosis and regular screening, and caregiver support. The QIs regarding dementia medication prescriptions and documentation of the risk of antipsychotics remained similar regardless of the time of entry into the model. The completion rates of QIs also improved after the information system was launched.
    Conclusions: Physician-case manager co-management in the setting of a collaborative care model with a computer-assisted assessment system helps improve QI achievement for dementia care.

    Abstract Objective: Motorcycles comprised over 60% of motor vehicles in Taiwan. There were still many motorcycle crashes in Taiwan, especially among young riders. This study investigated the characteristics of novice motorcyclist crashes in Taiwan over the period January 2011 to December 2016. Various risk factors affecting the severity of novice motorcyclist crashes, such as the rider characteristics, licensing conditions, and the environment, were examined.
    Methods: To model the count data with multiple crash severities, several regression models were considered. The multinomial logit (MNL) model, ordered logit (OL) model, and partial proportional odds (PPO) model were chosen and investigated for the relationships between the severity of novice motorcyclist crashes and potential risk factors.
    Results: The results showed that the novice rider who was underage or unlicensed had a higher probability of a fatal crash. Male sex, helmet use, drinking, college student, frontal impact, urban or dry road, and daytime all played significant roles in novice motorcyclist crashes.
    Conclusions: Taiwan traffic safety needs further policy adjustments and public education toward novice motorcycle crashes. Adequate driving training and providing a user-friendly environment for novice riders could help. Taiwan should consider graduated driver licensing systems for skill-building and riding supervision for new motorcyclists.

    Abstract Background: To compare short-term cognitive outcomes among groups with and without neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) or antipsychotic prescription and to determine which disease status or treatment modality is associated with relatively faster cognitive decline.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a prospective cohort of patients diagnosed with dementia and mild cognitive impairment. All participants were evaluated using the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) during their initial clinical assessments and at the annual follow-up. The dependent variable was annual delta CASI. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to assess the degree of association between NPS, antipsychotic use, and cognitive decline after adjusting for confounding factors. Neuropsychiatric symptoms were examined individually to determine their predictive value for cognitive decline.
    Results: A total of 407 (N = 407) patients were included in the study. NPSs, rather than antipsychotic use, led to faster cognitive decline. A higher baseline NPI total score predicted a significantly faster decline in CASI scores (1-year delta CASI = -0.22, 95% CI = -0.38~ -0.05,
    Conclusion: Certain neuropsychiatric symptoms, rather than antipsychotic use, lead to faster cognitive decline in a dementia collaborative care model. Checking for and providing appropriate interventions for NPS in people with dementia and their caregivers are highlighted.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to explore the association between adherence of collaborative care model and short-term deterioration of BPSD after controlling patient and caregiver factors.
    Methods: This retrospective case-control study enrolled 276 participants who were newly diagnosed with dementia and BPSD. A dementia collaborative care team interviewed patients and caregivers to form a care plan and provided individualized education or social resource referrals. A multivariate logistic regression model with backward selection was used to test factors associated with BPSD deterioration, defined as worse neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) scores 1 year after joining the care model.
    Results: Male sex (odds ratio [OR] = 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.25-0.84) and higher clinical dementia rating scale sum of boxes scores (CDR-SOB) (OR = 0.90; 95% CI = 0.83-0.98) were protective factors, whereas spouse caregivers and withdrawals from the care model (OR = 3.42; 95% CI = 1.28-9.15) were risk factors for BPSD deterioration.
    Conclusions: Our study showed that both patient and caregiver factors were associated with deterioration of BPSD. The case manager-centered dementia collaborative care model is beneficial for the management of BPSD. Healthcare systems may consider implementing a case management model in clinical dementia care practice.

    Abstract Background: Optimal use of psychotropic medications for people living with dementia is important. By finding potentially modifiable factors, dementia care teams may find solutions to achieve the appropriate use of psychotropic drugs.
    Objective: This study aimed to elucidate patient and caregiver factors associated with the use of psychotropic drugs listed in the potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in community-dwelling people with dementia.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 808 patients newly diagnosed with dementia, and their caregivers, from a dementia clinic at Changhua Christian Hospital. Patient and caregiver characteristics, care mode, and social resource usage were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with prescribing psychotropic medications.
    Results: Of all the participants, 39.1% used at least one of psychotropic medication categorized as PIM. Patients with frontotemporal dementia, with behavior or psychological symptoms, or cared by sole foreign care workers; caregivers with higher depression scores, employed or non-spouse caregivers carried a higher risk of prescription of psychotropic medications listed in PIMs.
    Conclusion: Psychotropic drug prescriptions are associated with patient and caregiver factors. Therefore, implementing appropriate interventions, especially those targeting potentially modifiable factors, is important to reduce psychotropic medication use.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to elucidate the influence of dementia etiologies on the degree of caregiver burden and determine which factors predict a high caregiving burden.
    Methods: This 18-month retrospective cohort study enrolled 630 patients and their caregivers from the Dementia Center of Changhua Christian Hospital. The care team performed face-to-face interviews every 6 months, for 18 months from when a diagnosis of dementia was made. The primary outcome was the change in Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) scores. Generalized estimating equations were used for the longitudinal data analysis.
    Results: Participants with Lewy body disease (LBD) had a significantly higher caregiving burden compared with those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) (β = 3.83 ± 1.47, Wald = 6.79,
    Conclusion: This longitudinal study demonstrated that caregiver burden was influenced by the underlying dementia etiology of patients. The dementia care team should provide personalized education and transfer patients and caregivers to appropriate resources, especially for high-risk populations.
