Abstract

Background: In Parkinson's Disease (PD) cognitive impairment may become evident at an early stage of the disease. Performance in the visuospatial domain has been pointed out as a possible predictor of cognitive decline for dementia.

Objectives: The goal was to characterize the visuospatial memory profile, explore the predictive value of a set of visuospatial measures that better distinguish patients from controls, and investigate the relevance of the 10/36 SPART, providing cutoff scores.

Methods: A total of 43 PD patients and 45 healthy controls (HC) were recruited from the Centro Hospitalar Universitário de São João and the community, respectively. The protocol included a set of tests assessing global cognitive functioning, visuoperceptive abilities, and visuospatial memory.

Results: PD patients performed significantly worse than HC, showing difficulties in global cognition, visuospatial learning, and visuoconstructive and perceptive abilities. Through a discriminant analysis, the Clock Drawing Test and ACE-R's visuospatial domain were revealed as good tools to be included in the evaluation protocol. Regarding the 10/36 SPART's performance, four predictors were found (age, sex, education, and emotional distress) and cutoff scores were determined.

Conclusions: The visuospatial memory profile found was congruent with that described in the literature. The results were discussed according to their relevance for clinical practice and future research.

帕金森病患者的视觉空间记忆特征。

背景：在帕金森病（PD）中，认知障碍可能在疾病的早期阶段变得明显。视觉空间领域的表现已被指出是痴呆症认知能力下降的可能预测因素。目的：目的是表征视觉空间记忆剖面，探索一组视觉空间测量的预测价值，以更好地区分患者和对照组，并研究10/36 SPART的相关性，提供临界值。方法：分别从Universitário de ss o joo中心医院和社区招募PD患者43例和健康对照45例。该方案包括一套评估整体认知功能、视觉感知能力和视觉空间记忆的测试。结果：PD患者表现明显差于HC，表现出整体认知、视觉空间学习、视觉构建和感知能力的困难。通过判别分析，发现时钟绘制测试和ACE-R的视觉空间域是纳入评估方案的良好工具。关于10/36 SPART的表现，发现了四个预测因素（年龄、性别、教育程度和情绪困扰），并确定了截止分数。结论：所发现的视觉空间记忆特征与文献中描述的一致。根据结果对临床实践和未来研究的相关性进行讨论。

期刊介绍： pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
