Abstract
We aimed to prospectively assess the change in neuropsychiatric symptoms among people who develop cognitive impairment and have a history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We analyzed longitudinal data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Unified Data Set (March 2015 to December 2021). Analyses included individuals who were cognitively normal and who had nonmissing assessment of PTSD at the initial visit and had at least 1 follow-up visit with cognitive impairment. We compared the difference in the mean neuropsychiatric symptom score at the first Unified Data Set visit versus the first visit with a Clinical Dementia Rating of 0.5 between those with and without a history of PTSD. The mean neuropsychiatric symptom score change did not differ between those with and without a history of PTSD (1.06 vs. 0.77, respectively; P =0.79). The null results found in this study warrant future research. Several methodological limitations might explain these results.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal directed to an audience of clinicians and researchers, with primary emphasis on Alzheimer disease and associated disorders. The journal publishes original articles emphasizing research in humans including epidemiologic studies, clinical trials and experimental studies, studies of diagnosis and biomarkers, as well as research on the health of persons with dementia and their caregivers. The scientific portion of the journal is augmented by reviews of the current literature, concepts, conjectures, and hypotheses in dementia, brief reports, and letters to the editor.
