varied between 599V for patients with the final diagnosis Alzheim ers diseases, 622V for patients with vascular or mixed dementia and 963V for patients with unspecific dementia. A final diagnosis of dementia was the only factor significantly associated with cost of the diagnostic process (b1⁄4346, CI 180, CI 512, p1⁄40.001). Conclusions:High range of costs reflects differences in diagnostic demands depending dementia etiology. These variety needs to be transferred into reimbursement. Further studies are needed to assess the influence of the type of cognitive impairment and the settings on diagnostic costs. meet”) P1-593 REALWORLD EVIDENCE FOR
