OBJECTIVE
To assess the legal capacity and guardianship proceedings in patients diagnosed with dementia.
METHODS
Ninety-seven patients diagnosed with dementia and seen at a tertiary hospital were evaluated.
RESULTS
Of these 97 patients, 60 (62%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 77.9 years; average schooling was 5.5 years. The main diagnosis was Alzheimer's disease (73%): 16 patients were at a mild stage, eight at a moderate stage and 73 at an advanced stage of dementia. Only 28 patients had been legally declared incapable.
CONCLUSION
The large numbers of patients at an advanced stage of dementia, and the relatively few patients legally declared incapable show that legal issues in dementia are problematic.
目的
评估被诊断为痴呆症患者的法律行为能力及监护程序。
方法
对一家三级医院收治的97例被诊断为痴呆症的患者进行评估。
结果
这97例患者中，60例（62%）为女性。患者的平均年龄为77.9岁；平均受教育年限为5.5年。主要诊断为阿尔茨海默病（73%）：16例处于痴呆症轻度阶段，8例处于中度阶段，73例处于重度阶段。只有28例患者被依法宣布无行为能力。
结论
大量患者处于痴呆症重度阶段，而依法宣布无行为能力的患者相对较少，这表明痴呆症相关的法律问题存在争议。
