Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Unique cognitive impairments related to chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) have been increasingly reported. Considering the dementia risk and medication management, older patients with COPD should be evaluated for cognitive impairment. This study aimed to examine whether specific cognitive impairments related to COPD could be detected by an assessment tool using a touchscreen personal computer (PC) in older patients with COPD.
UNASSIGNED: This study included 28 older male patients with COPD and 30 healthy older male individuals. A touchscreen PC-based cognitive assessment application called CogEvo was used to assess and compare the cognitive function according to five domains: spatial cognition, orientation, working memory, executive function, and attention.
UNASSIGNED: Analysis of variance showed an interaction effect on the indices of cognitive function based on five domains between the two groups, indicating differences in the characteristics of cognitive function in such groups. Betweengroup comparisons as a subtest showed that attention, executive function, and working memory were significantly lower in the COPD group than in the healthy group.
UNASSIGNED: CogEvo can detect specific cognitive impairments associated with COPD, suggesting that it can be potentially used as a screening tool for cognitive impairment in older patients with COPD.
摘要:
未经证实:与慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)相关的独特认知障碍的报道越来越多。考虑到痴呆症的风险和药物管理,老年COPD患者应进行认知障碍评估.这项研究旨在检查是否可以通过使用触摸屏个人计算机(PC)的评估工具在老年COPD患者中检测到与COPD相关的特定认知障碍。
未经评估:本研究纳入了28名老年男性COPD患者和30名健康老年男性个体。基于触摸屏PC的认知评估应用程序CogEvo用于根据五个领域评估和比较认知功能:空间认知,定位,工作记忆,执行功能,和注意。
UNASSIGNED:方差分析显示,两组之间基于五个领域的认知功能指标存在交互影响,表明这些群体认知功能特征的差异。作为子测试的Betweengroup比较表明,执行功能,COPD组的工作记忆明显低于健康组。
未经评估:CogEvo可以检测与COPD相关的特定认知障碍,提示它有可能被用作老年COPD患者认知障碍的筛查工具.
