From Subjective Cognitive Impairment (PRE-MCI) to Alzheimer's Disease: A Two Year Follow UP Study of 143 Subjects (P2.229)
2016
Objective: Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) characterizes a state of subjective complaint, without objective cognitive deterioration and can predict MCI.
Background: Preceding Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (A-MCI), between Normal Cognitive Aging and Early ALZHEIMER’s disease (E-AD), there is a pre-MCI state (SCI) where memory complaint is the unique symptom, many years before A-MCI state. It could represent a pure metacognitive impairment.
Methods: We followed during 24 months, a cohort of 143 subjects [16 Normal Controls (NC), 62 SCI, 53 A-MCI and 12 E-AD], by a neuropsychological evaluation [MMSE, ADAS-cog, CDR, GDS, SCD, GDS, RL/RI16, RAVLT], annually during 2 years (V0, V1, V2). MRI hippocampal atrophy scoring and Apo-E4 genotyping, were also performed for each patient.
Results: At V0 there was a significant difference between SCHELTENS 0 and SCHELTENS II-III groups, for SCD and Total Recall (TR) RL/RI16 scores. Upon 143 patients at V0, 143 reached V1 (13 NC, 59 SCI, 51 A-MCI and 20 E-AD), and 80 V2 (63 dropped out). Upon 62 SCI, 10 developped a A-MCI (16.12[percnt]), and 1 an E-AD (1.61[percnt]) at V1. So we can consider that 11 SCI (17.74[percnt]) were in evolution (SCI-E) and 48 stable (SCI-S). The comparison between SCI-E and SCI-S shows significant differences in RAVLT [total recall TR (p=0.001), delayed recall DR (p=0.0001)] and ApoE4 genotype (p=0.0001).
Conclusions: This study suggests that SCI is an intermediate state between NC and A-MCI that can be recognized by careful neuropsychological, MRI and Apo-E status evaluation. Annually follow-up permit to observe the evolution of SCI-E to A-MCI. SCI-E can be detected early at V0 by episodic memory examination (RAVLT TR and DR), ApoE-4 status and MRI SCHELTENS scores. Metacognition impairment in SCI is probably the expression of an anterior prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunction, responsible of a hyper-attentional syndrome, corresponding to a degenerative process of white matter anterior cingulum fibers.
