Abstract

Purpose: This systematic review covers the current stage of research on subtle cognitive impairment with connected speech. It aims at surveying the linguistic features in use to single out those that can best identify patients with mild neurocognitive disorders (mNCDs), whose cognitive changes remain underdiagnosed.

Method: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines and proposed a full definition of features for the analysis of speech features. Fifty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Most of them focused on age-related progressive diseases and included fewer than 30 subjects.

Results: A total of 384 features labeled with 335 different names was retrieved, yielding various results in discriminating individuals with mNCDs from controls.

Conclusions: This finding highlights the need for harmonized labels to further investigate mNCDs with linguistic markers. We suggest two different ways of assessing a feature's reliability. We also point out potential methodological issues that remain to be resolved, along with recommendations for reproducible research in the field.

连贯言语中细微认知障碍的语言标记：系统回顾

目的：这篇系统性综述涵盖了现阶段有关连接言语的细微认知障碍的研究。其目的是调查使用中的语言特征，以选出最能识别轻度神经认知障碍（mNCDs）患者的语言特征，这些患者的认知变化仍未得到充分诊断：方法：我们遵循《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》指南，为分析语言特征提出了完整的特征定义。有 51 项研究符合纳入标准。其中大部分研究侧重于与年龄相关的进行性疾病，纳入的受试者少于 30 人：结果：共检索到标有 335 个不同名称的 384 个特征，这些特征在区分 mNCDs 患者和对照组方面产生了不同的结果：结论：这一发现凸显了使用语言标记进一步研究 mNCDs 时统一标签的必要性。我们提出了评估特征可靠性的两种不同方法。我们还指出了仍有待于解决的潜在方法问题，并对该领域的可重复研究提出了建议。

期刊介绍： Mission: JSLHR publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on the normal and disordered processes in speech, language, hearing, and related areas such as cognition, oral-motor function, and swallowing. The journal is an international outlet for both basic research on communication processes and clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, and management of communication disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. JSLHR seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of communication sciences and disorders, including speech production and perception; anatomy and physiology of speech and voice; genetics, biomechanics, and other basic sciences pertaining to human communication; mastication and swallowing; speech disorders; voice disorders; development of speech, language, or hearing in children; normal language processes; language disorders; disorders of hearing and balance; psychoacoustics; and anatomy and physiology of hearing.
