Dementia wellbeing and COVID-19: Review and expert consensus on current research and knowledge gaps.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In response to a commissioned research update on dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic, a UK-based working group, comprising dementia researchers from a range of fields and disciplines, aimed to describe the impact of the pandemic on dementia wellbeing and identify priorities for future research.

Methods

We supplemented a rapid literature search (including unpublished, non-peer reviewed and ongoing studies/reports) on dementia wellbeing in the context of COVID-19 with expert group members' consensus about future research needs. From this we generated potential research questions the group judged to be relevant that were not covered by the existing literature.

Results

Themes emerged from 141 studies within the six domains of the NHS England COVID-19 Dementia
