| Popis: | Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) published Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for management of dementia, in the year 2007. (http://www.indianjpsychiatry.org/cpg2007.asp). The current version of the CPG is an update of the earlier version of CPGs for management of dementia There were three separate CPGs for management of dementia, one each for Reversible Dementias, Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia, Please note that the present CPG on dementia deals all types of dementia together. The current version of the CPGs for dementia in elderly must be read in conjunction with the previous version of CPGs for dementia. The focus of the present CPG is to provide suggestions and clinical tips to differentiate dementia syndrome from other clinical conditions, identify the subtypes of dementia and then offer suggestions for management. These guidelines only provide a broad framework for assessment, management and follow-up of older people with dementia. While most of the recommendations are evidence based, these guidelines should not be considered as a substitute of professional knowledge and clinical judgment. The recommendations made as part of these guidelines should be tailored to address the clinical needs of the individual patient and the treatment setting. |
