People with dementia can become missing and unable to be identified due to their cognitive decline and may not have belongings, including personally identifiable information. The aim of this systematic review was to summarise and discuss the current status of personal identification systems for missing and unidentified persons with dementia. An electronic systematic literature search was conducted by using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. By performing an electronic literature search, 128 texts were extracted. However, only three eligible texts were included in this review, and these were divided on the basis of the analysis target as follows: medical and human community support systems and digital systems. It is important to develop medical and social care systems and to construct and advance social personal identification systems, including medical and human community support systems and digital systems, for persons with dementia. However, this systematic review clarified that there have only been a few reports about the development and construction of social systems for missing and unidentified persons with dementia. People who interact with persons with dementia should consider this problem, which is increasing each year, and strive to build a social system that can be applied to personal identification as soon as possible.
痴呆症患者可能由于认知能力下降而失踪且无法识别，并且可能没有任何物品，包括个人身份信息。本系统评价的目的是总结和讨论目前针对痴呆症失踪和身份不明人员的个人识别系统的现状。通过使用 PubMed、Web of Science、Cochrane 图书馆和 CINAHL 进行电子系统文献检索，共提取了 128 篇文本。然而，本综述仅纳入了 3 篇符合条件的文献，这些文献根据分析对象分为医疗和人类社区支持系统以及数字系统。为痴呆症患者开发医疗和社会护理系统，并构建和推进社会个人识别系统，包括医疗和人类社区支持系统以及数字系统，非常重要。然而，本系统评价明确指出，只有少数关于失踪和身份不明的痴呆症患者社会系统的开发和构建的报告。与痴呆症患者互动的人应该考虑这个每年都在增加的问题，并努力尽快建立一个可用于身份识别的社会系统。
