This study focused on community-dwelling Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who had a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) that were aged 65 and older and had at least one hospital visit in 2017. Elderly with Medicare Advantage or dual eligibilities were not included. ADRD was defined using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) chronic conditions data warehouse codes. Non-Hispanic White (White), Black, and Hispanic patients with ADRD are reported where non-Hispanic Whites were used as the reference group.
