OBJECTIVES: Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is an umbrella term covering all cognitive impairment from mild cognitive deficits to dementia due to vascular etiologies. VCI is highly prevalent within dementia and stroke care pathways, but specific recommendations for care for people with VCI are lacking. Therefore, we formulated specific recommendations for care for people with VCI and tested these in a panel of health care professionals. DESIGN: Modified Delphi study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Purposefully sampled health care professionals in the dementia and stroke fields. METHODS: Based on Dutch care standards for dementia and stroke and previous studies, the research team formulated 27 statements. In 3 rounds, participants were asked on a 4-point Likert scale how much they agreed with statements. They could elaborate on their answer in open fields. After each round, level of agreement was calculated. Subsequently, it was evaluated whether consensus was reached. Qualitative data guided potential modifications to the statements and was analyzed for overarching themes in argumentation. RESULTS: Thirty-four participants (primary and secondary care physicians, nurses, psychologists, occupational therapists, and case managers in dementia care) were included in the expert panel. Of the formulated statements, 23 were accepted after 3 rounds. Accepted statements included recommendations on recognition and management of specific symptoms, awareness of care opportunities in and collaboration between care pathways and networks, and the importance of timely care. Some nuancing comments were raised on feasibility and specificity of the recommendations. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Experts agreed on multiple specific recommendations for VCI care across the patient journey, balancing specific and targeted care with further integration of the different care networks. Despite some concerns on feasibility and the balance between disease-centered and person-centered care, the expert-agreed statements can provide guidance in striving toward tailored care and aid in bringing together stroke and dementia networks for people with VCI.
