Similarities and differences in Alzheimer’s dementia comorbidities in racialized populations identified from electronic medical records

From the UCSF OMOP-based EMR database (>5 million patients), we identified 7409 patients with AD (Supplementary Fig. 1) and 14,818 PS-matched control patients. After a second round of PS-matching to obtain subcohorts of racialized populations, we identified 1688 patients with AD (422 patients for each identified R&E, mean estimated age 87.3 years old (6.0 standard deviation (SD))) and 3376 PS-matched controls (844 patients for each identified R&E, mean age 87.3 years old (6.0 SD)). From the UCDDP OMOP-based EMR database (>7 million patients), we identified 19,686 patients with AD (Supplementary Fig. 2) and 39,372 matched controls. After a second round of PS-matching to obtain subcohorts of racialized populations, we identified 3976 patients with AD (994 patients for each identified R&E, mean age 84.3 (6.0 SD)) and 7952 PS-matched control patients (1988 patients for each…
