Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: The significant increase in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia prevalence is a global health crisis, acutely impacting low- and lower-middle and upper-middle-income countries (LLMICs/UMICs). Objective: The objective of this study is to identify key barriers and gaps in dementia care and research in LLMICs and UMICs. Methods: We conducted an international, cross-sectional survey among clinicians and healthcare professionals (n = 249 in 34 countries) across LLMICs and UMICs, exploring patient demographics, use of clinical diagnosis, dementia evaluation, screening/evaluation tools, and care and treatment. Results: Significant disparities were found in diagnostic practices, access to assessments, and access to care. On average, clinicians in LLMICs saw more patients, had less time for evaluations, lower use of formal screening and tools, and less access to biomarkers. They were also under-resourced compared to UMICs. Conclusions: The findings provide insights for policymakers, healthcare organizations, and researchers to address the complex challenges associated with dementia care in diverse settings. Addressing these challenges requires a multipronged approach involving local, national, and international stakeholders.
