Real-life management of patients with mild cognitive impairment: an Italian survey.
Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a syndrome with heterogeneous underlying causes and different rates of disease progression, whose clinical heterogeneity leads to a wide variation in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in clinical practice. The lack of uniform practical recommendations on diagnostic workup and treatment for MCI patients hinders optimal management of these patients, worsening their prognosis. Standardized guidelines for the investigation and follow-up of MCI are therefore urgently required.
Aim: Aim of our study was to assess the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to MCI patients in the setting of Italian Memory Clinics.
Methods: A survey was delivered to a sample of Italian neurologists through two different phases: a first exploratory phase recording general information about the usual clinical management of patients with MCI, and a subsequent operative phase assessing the practical diagnostic and therapeutic decisions taken in a real life setting to manage subjects with MCI.
Results: A total of 121 neurologists participated to the first phase of the survey and 203 patients were enrolled in the second phase. Information gathered in the first phase of the survey highlighted a non-uniform use of diagnostic criteria and procedures for MCI, as well as a very heterogeneous therapeutic strategy among Italian neurologists. In the second phase, recorded data on diagnostic and therapeutic approach confirmed the large variability observed in the first phase of the survey.
Conclusions: The results of our study reflect a suboptimal management of MCI patients in Italy and highlight the need of standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this condition.
期刊介绍:
Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
