Patients with mild cognitive impairment and mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease can provide information about their quality of life. This study determined whether aggregating patient and informant quality-of-life reports on the Cornell-Brown Scale for Quality of Life in Dementia can provide a broader perspective on the quality of life relative to patient or informant reports separately. Aggregated Cornell-Brown Scale for Quality of Life in Dementia scores were hypothesized to correlate more strongly with both patient and informant perspectives of patient's memory, function, and neuropsychiatric symptoms than the unaggregated measures. Results indicated that aggregated Cornell-Brown Scale for Quality of Life in Dementia scores reflected a blend of patient and informant perspectives on patient function. This study contributes to a growing line of research that recommends integrating patient and informant perspectives to achieve the most complete assessment of quality of life.
轻度认知障碍和轻度至中度阿尔茨海默病患者能够提供有关其生活质量的信息。本研究旨在确定，将患者及其照护者关于痴呆症患者生活质量的康奈尔-布朗量表报告汇总起来，相对于分别单独的患者报告或照护者报告，是否能提供更全面的生活质量视角。研究假设，汇总后的痴呆症患者生活质量康奈尔-布朗量表评分，与患者及其照护者对患者记忆、功能和神经精神症状的看法之间的相关性，会比未汇总的测量结果更强。结果表明，汇总后的痴呆症患者生活质量康奈尔-布朗量表评分反映了患者及其照护者对患者功能看法的综合。本研究为越来越多建议整合患者及其照护者视角以实现对生活质量最全面评估的研究增添了内容。
