摘要

痴呆症是一种认知功能的丧失,其程度妨碍了患者的日常生活功能。有证据表明,有数百万人患有痴呆症,而且随着年轻人死亡率的下降,这一数字还在不断增加。痴呆症的各种病因可以通过全面的病史、全身检查、实验室检查和神经成像来诊断。虽然认知障碍是诊断痴呆症所必需的,甚至是充分的,但这种疾病也可能伴有神经精神症状,即痴呆症的行为和心理症状(BPSD),这些症状很普遍,对疾病的预后和治疗有重大影响。在本病例报告中,我们将讨论一种处理两名年龄超过90岁的BPSD患者症状的新方法。这些病人住在一家三级保健医院的住院部。患者开始服用低剂量药物,但由于没有改善,必须采取更严格的方法。

A novel approach towards behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia management
Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning to the extent that it interferes with the person’s daily routine functioning. Evidence suggests that there are millions of people living with dementia and this number is ever increasing as the younger age mortality is on the decline. The various causes of dementia can be diagnosed by a thorough medical history, a general and systemic examination, laboratory investigations, and neurological imaging. Although cognitive impairment is required and even sufficient for the diagnosis of dementia, the disease may also be accompanied by neuropsychiatric symptoms known as behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), which are widespread and have a significant impact on the disease’s prognosis and treatment. In this case report, we will be discussing about a novel approach undertaken when managing the BPSD symptoms of two patients older than 90 years of age. The patients were admitted to the inpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. The patients were started on low-dose medications initially but due to no improvement, a more rigorous approach had to be taken.
