Examination of 47 independent elderly subjects, matched with a population of patients with acute stroke, found that 55% made at least one omission on a battery of neglect tests. Up to 43% made omissions on any one test. Increasing age and other evidence of cognitive impairment were associated with impaired performance on the battery. Omissions were attributed to an age-related decline in visuo-spatial function. Cut-off points are provided to distinguish between such age-related impairment and visuospatial neglect. The importance of age-matched control studies in developing tests of cognitive impairment in stroke research is highlighted.
对47名独立的老年受试者进行检查,这些受试者与急性中风患者群体相匹配,结果发现55%的人在一系列疏忽测试中至少出现一次疏忽。高达43%的人在任何一项测试中出现疏忽。年龄增长和其他认知障碍证据与该组测试中的表现受损有关。疏忽归因于与年龄相关的视觉空间功能衰退。提供了临界点以区分这种与年龄相关的损伤和视觉空间疏忽。强调了年龄匹配对照研究在中风研究中开发认知障碍测试方面的重要性。
