Abstract

En 中文
Dementia is a global public health threat. Current treatments have limited efficacy, making identification of modifiable risk factors of paramount importance. Observational studies link severe infections to increased dementia risk but often suffer confounding. Here, we address this by determining dementia risk following bloodstream infection (BSI) in a nationwide study.
