    提要註: Sleep disturbances are a common occurrence in individuals with neurocognitive disorders, with one study finding disturbed sleep patterns in over 60% of the sample. Vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain and individuals with this disorder experience declines in executive functioning and complex attention, including processing speed. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the presence of sleep disorders and cognitive functioning in individuals with vascular dementia. Psychotropic medications are frequently used in the geriatric population to treat sleep and other behavioral disturbances; however, there have been mixed findings in the literature of the impact of these medications on individuals with dementia. Few studies have looked at the association between psychotropic use and cognitive functioning. This study aimed to examine the association between various sleep disorders, multiple classes of medications, and cognitive functioning among those with vascular dementia. Participants were drawn from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) Uniform Data Set (UDS). Included participants were those with a primary etiological diagnosis of a vascular brain injury or vascular dementia, including stroke. Results revealed significant differences based on sleep disorder status on measures of executive function and attention (Digits Backwards, Trails A and Trails B), but not on a measure of language. There was a significant difference in cognitive performance when accounting for years of education. Findings also revealed that individuals with a sleep disorder reported use of significantly more types of psychotropic medications. Potential explanations for these findings, clinical implications, and limitations of the current study are also discussed.
