Attenuating DEPression With Internet CBT to Slow Cognitive Decline in Older ICU Survivors(ADEPT-ICU)

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) affect 47 million people worldwide with an annual global cost of $818 billion. The risk of developing ADRD is disproportionately borne by older adults with multiple chronic conditions from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups (URGs). One such high risk group is older survivors of critical illness who were admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs). Nearly half of ICU survivors experience subjective cognitive decline(SCD), i.e., perceived decline in memory and thinking even with normal objective cognitive data. With over 5 million adult ICU…
