#2 dementia or Alzheimer's or Alzheimer [Title/Abstract/Keyword] - #3 #1 AND #2 92 Literature searches to support the economic evaluation Literature search for Australian data A literature search was conducted to identify Australian studies that could provide inputs for the economic model. The search strategy is shown below.

This search was utilised to identify potentially relevant data for a number of subsections of Section C. The literature search yielded very few studies that fulfilled the requirements above. Citation details for those studies that were considered potentially appropriate for inclusion in the base case economic evaluation or a sensitivity analysis are shown below.
