Guide for use: | Date of diagnosis must be:
Diagnosis of dementia after death: If the person is first diagnosed with the dementia in an autopsy report, or in conjunction with clinical or other information provided about the person, the date of diagnosis is the date of death as stated on the person's death certificate. Incidental diagnosis of dementia: If a patient is admitted for another condition (for example a broken leg) and dementia is diagnosed incidentally, then the date of diagnosis is the date the dementia was diagnostically determined, not the admission date. |
