Early detection of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) is important, especially in primary care settings. We compared performances of two common screening tests, the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT), with that of the MCI Screen ({MCIS}) in 254 patients over 65. None had previous diagnosis of ADRD, and 81% were asymptomatic by Functional Assessment Staging Test ({FAST}) (FAST=1). 215 patients completed all screening tests - 141 had >or= 1 abnormal result, 121/141 completed standardized diagnostic assessment, and the remaining 74/215 (34%) screened entirely normally and weren't further evaluated. Potential bias due to unevaluated cases was statistically adjusted. Among diagnosed cases: AD=43%, cerebrovascular disease=36%, other causes=21%. Bias-adjusted MCI prevalence for FAST stages 1 and 1-3 were 13.9-20.3% and 23.0-28.3%. Bias-adjusted results for the CDT, MMSE and MCIS were: clinical diagnosis validity (kappa statistic)={-0.02 (p=0.61), 0.06 (p=0.23), 0.92 (p< 0.0001)}; sensitivity={59%, 71%, 94%}; specificity={39%, 36%, 97%}; overall accuracy={54%, 62%, 96%}; positive predictive value={16%, 17%, 86%}; and negative predictive value={83%, 87%, 96%}. The MMSE and CDT were not valid for early detection, while the MCIS had high validity and accuracy in the primary care cohort.
早期发现阿尔茨海默病及相关疾病(ADRD)很重要,尤其是在初级保健环境中。我们比较了两种常见筛查测试——简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)和画钟测试(CDT),与MCI筛查({MCIS})在254名65岁以上患者中的表现。这些患者之前均未被诊断为ADRD,且81%通过功能评估分期测试({FAST})(FAST = 1)无症状。215名患者完成了所有筛查测试——141名有≥1项异常结果,121/141名完成了标准化诊断评估,其余74/215名(34%)筛查完全正常且未作进一步评估。对未评估病例造成的潜在偏倚进行了统计学调整。在确诊病例中:阿尔茨海默病占43%,脑血管疾病占36%,其他病因占21%。FAST 1期和1 - 3期经偏倚调整后的MCI患病率分别为13.9 - 20.3%和23.0 - 28.3%。CDT、MMSE和MCIS经偏倚调整后的结果为:临床诊断效度(kappa统计量)={-0.02(p = 0.61),0.06(p = 0.23),0.92(p < 0.0001)};敏感度={59%,71%,94%};特异度={39%,36%,97%};总体准确率={54%,62%,96%};阳性预测值={16%,17%,86%};阴性预测值={83%,87%,96%}。MMSE和CDT对于早期检测无效,而MCIS在初级保健队列中具有较高的效度和准确率。
