Estimating undiagnosed dementia in England using capture recapture techniques by Naaheed Mukadam, Louise Marston, Katie Flanagan, Etuini Ma’u, Gary Cheung, Dankmar Böhning

“…Abstract Background To our knowledge capture-recapture techniques have not been used to estimate dementia prevalence using routinely collected data in England, nor have they been used to estimate changes in undiagnosed dementia over time. In this study we aimed to use routinely collected electronic health records to estimate the number of undiagnosed dementia cases there are in England and how this has changed over time. …”
