Probable Vascular Dementia in the Tropics: A Study of Twenty-Six (26) Observations at Conakry University Hospital
Introduction: In tropical environments, the diagnostic certainty of vascular dementia is difficult to establish due to under-medicalization, delays in consultation and above all the inadequacy of exploration methods. Material and methods: We analyzed the records of 153 patients hospitalized for dementia syndrome over a period from January 1, 2016 to December 21, 2021 in the Neurology Department of the Centre Hospitalo-. Universitaire de Conakry. Dementia status was assessed according to the Clinical Evaluation Scale (ECD), Confirmed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE<24) cognitive tests or Neuro, behavioral Cognitive Status Examination (NCSE) score. Results: 26 (twenty-six) patients fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria for vascular dementia, based on the association of dementia and cerebrovascular disease certified by the presence of focal neurological signs of vascular origin and imaging data. Conclusion: this study shows a non-stereotyped clinical and etiological profile of the spectrum of vascular dementias in the tropics, in a context of under-medicalization. These results are useful for diagnostic and prognostic discussion.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal publishes papers relating to the plasticity and response of the nervous system to accidental or experimental injuries and their interventions, transplantation, neurodegenerative disorders and experimental strategies to improve regeneration or functional recovery and rehabilitation. Experimental and clinical research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant experimental or clinical relevance and interest to a multidisciplinary audience. Experiments on un-anesthetized animals should conform with the standards for the use of laboratory animals as established by the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, US National Academy of Sciences. Experiments in which paralytic agents are used must be justified. Patient identity should be concealed. All manuscripts are sent out for blind peer review to editorial board members or outside reviewers. Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience is a member of Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium.
