See the structure of medication use
Nodes show medication prevalence; links show co-medication. Use this view to identify dominant medications, highly connected drug classes, and changes around diagnosis.
Explore medication use in people living with dementia.
MINT-D uses UK primary care data to visualise medication prevalence and co-medication patterns for 59 chronic medication classes and 69 CNS drug substances in people living with dementia from 10 years prior to 5 years post dementia diagnosis, stratified by sex and age group.

Matrix
Compare medication pairs directly
The matrix provides co-medication prevalence across years, age groups, and sex. Use this to identify which drug combinations are most common and potential targets for deprescribing.
Heatmap
Track temporal prescribing patterns
Heatmaps highlight how prevalence varies before and after dementia diagnosis.
Questions MINT-D helps answer.
Which medications dominate before diagnosis?
Use node size and line charts to inspect prevalence trajectories.
Which drug classes are commonly used together?
Use link width, the matrix, and the top combinations table.
Do patterns differ by age or sex?
Filter by age group and sex and download the data.
What changes after dementia diagnosis?
Compare pre- and post-diagnosis years using the slider and heatmaps.
