  • Slovenian memory clinic organization with the introduction of potential new Alzheimer's disease treatment
    Županič, Eva, 1987- ...
    Slovenia, situated in Central Europe with a population of 2.1 million, has an estimated 44,278 individuals with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease or mild Alzheimer's dementia, ... rendering them potential candidates for disease-modifying treatment (DMT), such as lecanemab. We identified 114 potential candidates whose real-life expenses for diagnostic process surmount to more than €80,000. Treating all potential candidates nationwide would amount to €1.06 billion, surpassing Slovenia's entire annual medication expenditure for 2022 (€743 million). The introduction of DMTs and the associated logistics, along with potential complications, will significantly change societal, professional, and patient approach to treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
