Analysis of the risk and risk factors for injury in people with and without dementia: a 14-year, retrospective, matched cohort study

Abstract

People with dementia are at a higher risk of injury-related hospitalization than people without dementia. The results of this study provide a reference for preventing suffocation, drug poisoning, and falls in people with dementia. In addition, government agencies should pay attention to and intervene in cases of abuse suffered by people with dementia.
