Dementia in pakistan: national guidelines for clinicians.
Pak J Neurological Sci Jan ;8(3):17-27.

Dementia refers to a range of disorders characterized by declining memory, multiple cognitive defects, and eventual mortality due to progressive and irreversible brain damage. Disease entities comprising dementia characteristically affect mainly the geriatric population. As the world's sixth most populous country, Pakistan faces a stiff challenge of managing an aging population in the years ahead. Dementia in Pakistan has so far been grossly under-studied. The authors used currently available tools to review relevant data on epidemiology, diagnosis, management and follow-up care of dementia as well as international guidelines published worldwide, particular those from developing countries. The authors also analyzed clinical data from their own registry of dementia patients presenting to a tertiary care center.
