Contrast Perception

AbstractSubjective memory complaints (SMCs) are known to be inconsistently related to current memory impairment in older adults but this association has not been well investigated in primary care provider (PCP) settings. To characterize the complexity of the relationship between SMCs and objective memory in older outpatients of PCPs, we collected neuropsychological, subjective memory, depression and medical chart data from outpatients aged 65 and older, without documented dementia diagnoses, in eleven PCP offices in and around the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Results indicated that self-estimates of current memory ability were most strongly associated with objective memory performance; in contrast, perception of worsening memory over the past year showed no association; and specific memory-related activities were only weakly associated. Women were more likely than men to show inconsistency between SMCs and objective memory performance. Only two of the 11 most significantly memory-impaired participants endorsed SMCs and only four had PCP chart documentation of memory problems. Eliciting SMCs in non-demented older adults can be of clinical value in a PCP setting, but significant limitations of patient self-report in more memory-impaired patients underscore the need to develop brief, objective indicators of memory impairment for PCP office use when there is suspicion of decline.

Early Results

Abstract Objective Quick cognitive screeners which can be used for ethnically and educationally diverse patients are particularly useful within the primary care setting. The Picture-Based Memory Impairment Screen (PMIS) is a brief screening tool which has been validated in such a population. Here we compare the PMIS against a gold-standard memory task (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised [HVLT-R]) and evaluate its utility as a stand-alone memory screener. Method In this cross-sectional study, adults over 65 with cognitive concerns were recruited at their primary care visit to complete the PMIS as part of a larger randomized controlled trial aimed at improving detection of cognitive impairment. A subset of those participants also agreed to complete neuropsychological testing in English or Spanish (including the HVLT-R). Correlations were performed. Results 108 participants (Mean age = 73; 73% female; 39% Black/AA; 58% Hispanic; 52% evaluated in Spanish; Mean years education = 10.8) completed the PMIS and HVLT-R. The PMIS was correlated with the HVLT-R Immediate Raw Score (rs = 0.229, p = 0.17) and even more strongly correlated with the HVLT-R Delayed Raw Score (rs = 0.347, p < 0.001). Conclusions Early results of this ongoing trial suggest that the PMIS is a useful memory screener which can be used to quickly identify individuals in a diverse primary care setting who are likely to have memory weakness.
