Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of differential diagnosis for subcortical ischemic vascular dementia(SIVD)and Alzheimer's disease(AD)with memory and executive screening(MES) scale. Methods Fifty SIVD and 50 AD patients treated in the outpatient and wards of the Department of Neurology,Fuxing Hospital,Capital Medical University from June 2012 to November 2013 were enrolled retrospectively. They were enrolled in either a SIVD group or an AD group. Fifty healthy subjects in Yuetan community of Fuxing hospital were selected as a control group at the same period. The age,sex and education level of the subjects in the 3 groups were matched. The Mini-Mental State Examination( MMSE) and MES were used to measure all subjects and were compared;receiver operating characteristic curves was used to analyze the radio of memory and executive part for SIVD and AD discrimination. Results (1)There was no significant difference in total MMSE score between the SIVD group and the AD group(20. 6 ± 5. 5 vs. 20. 6 ± 3. 3;P>0. 05).(2)There were significant differences in each MES indexes among the patients of the 3 groups(all P>0. 05). The 1,3,4 and 5 scores for the sentence memory in the SIVD group were significantly higher than those of the AD group. There were significant differences(all P<0. 01). The indicators of executive part:the continuous action,instruction and action contradictory stimulation,knock and un-knock with finger scores of the SIVD group were all lower than those of the AD group(5. 1 ± 3. 1 vs. 7. 3 ± 2. 1, 5. 2 ± 3. 0 vs. 7. 7 ± 1. 9,3. 5 ± 4. 4 vs. 6. 2 ± 4. 3;all P<0. 01). The MES-R of the SIVD group was higher than that of the AD group(1. 2 ± 0. 7 vs. 0. 5 ± 0. 2;P>0. 05).(3)When MES-R was≥0. 7,the sensitivity and specificity of differentiating SIVD were 76. 7% and 83. 3%,and the total score of MMSE for differentiating the sensitivity and specificity of SIVD were 40. 0% and 0. 7%. Conclusion The differences of MES reflecting sentence memory and executive part may better distinguish the patients with SIVD and AD.
