We studied 183 patients with advanced dementia who had been admitted to the Geriatric-Internal Medicine Department of a general hospital, with a 1 year follow-up evaluated by Mini-Suffering State Examination (MSSE) scores on first days after admission. The not calm compared to calm patients with advanced dementia had a high suffering level (6.12 ± 2.16 versus 3.21 ± 1.71) with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.001). The not calm patients were sicker, a higher percentage had fever (P = 0.005), elevated levels of white blood cells WBC (P = 0.003) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (P = 0.020). The Kaplan-Meier function analysis showed a shorter survival of not calm versus calm advanced dementia patients, with a statistically significant difference (Log Rank [Mantel-Cox] P = 0.002). Not calm in advanced dementia patients is the first item of the MSSE and is a very important symptom of Aminoff Suffering Syndrome.
我们研究了183例入住综合医院老年内科的晚期痴呆患者,在入院后首日通过简易痛苦状态检查(MSSE)评分进行为期1年的随访评估。与平静的晚期痴呆患者相比,不平静的患者痛苦程度较高(6.12±2.16对3.21±1.71),差异具有统计学意义(P = 0.001)。不平静的患者病情更严重,发热百分比更高(P = 0.005),白细胞(WBC)水平升高(P = 0.003),C反应蛋白(CRP)水平升高(P = 0.020)。Kaplan-Meier生存分析显示,不平静的晚期痴呆患者较平静患者生存期更短,差异具有统计学意义(对数秩检验[Mantel-Cox] P = 0.002)。晚期痴呆患者的不平静是MSSE的首要项目,也是阿明诺夫痛苦综合征的一个非常重要的症状。
