To establish the diagnostic accuracy of the Brazilian version of the General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG-Br) compared to the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in individuals with low educational level.
Ninety-three patients (≥ 60 years old) from Brazilian primary care units provided sociodemographic, cognitive, and functional data. Receiver operating characteristics, areas under the curve (AUC) and logistic regressions were conducted.
Sixty-eight patients with 0-4 years of education. Cases (n = 44) were older (p = 0.006) and performed worse than controls (n = 49) on all cognitive or functional measures (p < 0.001). The GPCOG-Br demonstrated similar diagnostic accuracy to the MMSE (AUC = 0.90 and 0.91, respectively) and similar positive and negative predictive values (PPV/NPV, respectively: 0.79/0.86 for GPCOG-Br and 0.79/0.81 for MMSE). Adjusted cut-points displayed high sensitivity (all 86%) and satisfactory specificity (65%-80%). Lower educational level predicted lower cognitive performance.
The GPCOG-Br is clinically well-suited for use in primary care.
比较巴西版全科医生认知评估量表(GPCOG-Br)与简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)在低教育水平个体中的诊断准确性。
来自巴西基层医疗单位的93名患者(≥60岁)提供了社会人口学、认知和功能数据。进行了受试者工作特征分析、曲线下面积(AUC)分析和逻辑回归分析。
68名患者接受过0-4年教育。病例组(n = 44)年龄更大(p = 0.006),在所有认知或功能测量方面的表现均比对照组(n = 49)差(p < 0.001)。GPCOG-Br显示出与MMSE相似的诊断准确性(AUC分别为0.90和0.91),以及相似的阳性和阴性预测值(PPV/NPV,GPCOG-Br分别为0.79/0.86,MMSE分别为0.79/0.81)。调整后的切点显示出高敏感性(均为86%)和令人满意的特异性(65%-80%)。较低的教育水平预示着较低的认知表现。
GPCOG-Br在临床应用中非常适合基层医疗。
