Abstract

Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the motor system and can lead to dementia. Dementia incidence among 102 non-demented participants (52 PD and 50 controls) followed prospectively over three years was assessed. Cognition was measured annually using the Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and Dementia Rating Scale (DRS). Mixed-effects model was used to determine the significance of the change in neuropsychological tests (NPT) over time. Incidence of dementia in the PD group was 41.67%. The FAB and DRS showed significant. In the PD subgroup, the copy-CDT (CCDT), FAB and DRS showed decline in patients with incipient dementia (PDID). The FAB and DRS scores correlated in the primary and subgroup analyses. In the subgroup, the CCDT correlated with FAB and DRS. The NPT were useful in discriminating PD from control patients with early cognitive impairments and discriminating PDID from PDND.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate whether the demographic variable-adjustment and supplementation of Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) score can improve the screening ability of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for dementia and its subtypes. Five hundred forty-one non-demented comparison (NC) and 474 dementia (320 Alzheimer's disease [AD]; 139 non-Alzheimer's disease dementia [NAD]; and 15 mixed AD-NAD dementia) individuals living in the community were included. Education-adjusted MMSE (MMSE-edu) score showed significantly better screening accuracy for overall dementia, AD, and NAD than MMSE raw score. FAB-supplemented MMSE (MMSE-FAB) score had significantly better screening ability for NAD, but not for overall dementia and AD, than MMSE raw score alone. Additional supplementation of FAB to MMSE-edu further increased the ability for overall dementia or NAD screening, but not for AD screening. Further education adjustment of MMSE-FAB also improved its ability for overall dementia, AD, and NAD screening. These results strongly support the usefulness of education-adjustment and supplementation of frontal function assessment to improve screening performance of MMSE for dementia and its subtypes, NAD in particular.
