摘要
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that accounts for 60%-70% of patients with dementia, and it is estimated that over one million Canadians will be living with dementia by 2030. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) targeting the underlying pathophysiology of AD are currently in development. Several models have demonstrated that the potential arrival of Alzheimer's DMTs will most likely overwhelm the already-constrained Canadian healthcare system. Canada does not have a strategy to address the extensive requirements of using DMTs, including providing an early diagnosis of AD, confirming DMT eligibility via amyloid biomarkers, and conducting ongoing treatment monitoring. Thus, a multidisciplinary group of experts involved in AD care in Canada gathered to review (1) the current barriers to diagnosis and management of AD; (2) how existing clinic models, including those used in multiple sclerosis (MS), could be applied to address key barriers in AD; and (3) how to design and implement optimal care pathways in the future. The actions outlined in this review will help clinicians and healthcare systems improve readiness to integrate the use of disease-modifying therapies in Alzheimer's disease, if such therapies are approved in Canada. Entamer la discussion au sujet des changements qui attendent le systeme de sante canadien en lien avec les traitements modificateurs de la maladie d'Alzheimer.La maladie d'Alzheimer (MA) est une affection neurodegenerative qui touche 60 a 70 % des patients atteints de demence. On estime que plus d'un million de Canadiens seront atteints de demence d'ici a 2030. Des traitements modificateurs de la maladie (TMM) ciblant la physiopathologie sous-jacente de la MA sont en cours de developpement a l'heure actuelle. A ce sujet, nombreux sont les modeles qui ont demontre que l'arrivee potentielle des TMM pour la MA va tres probablement entrainer une demande excessive affectant le systeme de sante canadien alors que ce dernier est deja soumis a des contraintes. C'est ainsi que le Canada n'a pas de strategie pour repondre aux nombreuses exigences liees a l'utilisation des TMM, notamment l'etablissement de diagnostics precoces pour la MA, la capacite de determiner l'admissibilite des patients aux TMM grace aux biomarqueurs amyloides et le fait d'assurer un suivi continu des traitements. Un groupe multidisciplinaire d'experts impliques dans les soins de la MA au Canada s'est donc constitue pour examiner : 1) les obstacles actuels a l'etablissement d'un diagnostic de MA au pays et a la prise en charge des patients ; 2) la facon dont les modeles cliniques existants, y compris ceux utilises dans le cas de la sclerose en plaques (SP), pourraient etre mis en pratique pour surmonter les principaux obstacles lies a la MA ; 3) la maniere de concevoir et de mettre en oe uvre pour l'avenir des parcours de soins optimaux. En bref, les actions decrites dans cette etude aideront les cliniciens et les systemes de sante a mieux se preparer a integrer les TMM si ces derniers sont approuves au Canada en ce qui regarde la MA.
