Assessment of Health Economics in Alzheimer's Disease (AHEAD): treatment with galantamine in Sweden.

Journal ArticleDOI
Compliance and hypertension.
TL;DR: Clinical researchers are just beginning to apply a new approach that views compliance as a behavior change taking place over time, where patients do not simply change their behavior through a one-time decision to take their medication as directed by their physicians; they move through five stages of behavior change.
Journal ArticleDOI

J. Jaime Caro,Maribel Salas,Alexandra Ward,Denis Getsios,Kristen Migliaccio-Walle,Frances B. Garfield +5 more
TL;DR: The cumulative cost of care over 10 years is expected to be reduced, and this offsets much or all of the cost of galantamine, and the savings predicted from delaying FTC may offset the treatment costs.
