Abstract

This case-control study examined cognitive function in patients with mild idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), in comparison with controls or moderate-to-severe IPF. Ten mild IPF, 10 moderate-to-severe IPF, and 16 controls were enrolled, and performance on seven different cognitive function tests was compared in each group. IPF showed decreased cognitive function compared to controls in verbal memory, cognitive flexibility and information processing speed. As the scores were lower even in mild IPF, this study suggests that cognitive function declines early in the disease process of IPF. Thus, occupational therapy for IPF should require an assessment of cognitive function and assistance appropriate to the client's function.

轻度特发性肺纤维化患者的认知功能：病例对照试点研究

这项病例对照研究考察了轻度特发性肺纤维化（IPF）患者与对照组或中重度 IPF 患者的认知功能。研究人员招募了 10 名轻度特发性肺纤维化患者、10 名中重度特发性肺纤维化患者和 16 名对照组患者，并比较了各组患者在七种不同认知功能测试中的表现。与对照组相比，IPF 在言语记忆、认知灵活性和信息处理速度方面的认知功能都有所下降。由于即使是轻度 IPF 患者的得分也较低，这项研究表明，认知功能在 IPF 疾病过程的早期就会下降。因此，针对 IPF 的职业疗法应要求对认知功能进行评估，并根据客户的功能提供适当的帮助。
