The diagnosis of early signs of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major challenge in a heterogeneous population. Objective To investigate the use of the Brief Cognitive Screening Battery (BCSB) for the diagnosis of mild AD in a geriatric outpatient unit of a public hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Method BCSB was administered to 51 elderly adults with a clinical diagnosis of probable AD and 123 older adults without dementia (non-AD). Results AD patients performed worse than non-AD group in all BCSB tests, except Clock Drawing (p = 0.10). The ROC curves and Logistic Regression analysis indicated that delayed recall in the figure memory test was the best predictor, screening mild AD patients with sensibility and specificity superior to 80%. Conclusion The BCSB was accurate in identifying people with AD in a geriatric outpatient clinic at a public hospital, including elderly people with chronic diseases, physical frailty and cognitive impairment

Objetivo analisar o desempenho de uma população idosa no Mini Exame do Estado Mental; verificar os resultados da aplicação do Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI); averiguar a interferência das variáveis gênero, escolaridade e zumbido no desempenho geral no MEEM e THI; verificar possíveis relações do estado mental com o autorrelato das características psicoacústicas e escala emocional do THI. Métodos estudo clínico descritivo, exploratório, quantitativo e qualitativo em que se submeteram ao MEEM e THI, 108 voluntários, de gênero masculino e feminino, com idade entre 60 a 80 anos encaminhados da Coordenadoria de Atenção Básica de Itabaiana – SE. Para a análise dos dados foram utilizadas a distribuição percentual simples e a correlação de Spearman com p<0,05. Resultados a média de idade foi 65,63 anos. Os resultados no MEEM agruparam-se em quatro níveis de escolaridade: sem escolaridade (37,0%); ≥1 a ≤8 anos (55,6%); ≥9 a ≤11 anos (4,6%) e ≥12 anos (2,8%); a média no MEEM foi 21,7. Observou-se que 49,1% pontuaram abaixo da nota de corte, enquanto 50,9% apresentaram nota igual ou superior ao parâmetro adotado. No THI, observou-se que 59,3% apresentavam queixa de zumbido. Verificou-se que o zumbido interfere na qualidade de vida de 89,10% da população estudada. Conclusão uma parcela expressiva dos participantes apresentou alteração no MEEM. Não existiu associação significante entre gênero, escolaridade e pontuação do MEEM e THI e a maioria dos participantes desta pesquisa referiu prejuízo na qualidade de vida com associação ao zumbido. Inexistiu relação entre queixa das características psicoacústicas do zumbido e resultados exibidos pelo MEEM, todavia, os achados apontaram que a maioria da população testada autorrelataram presença de zumbido.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on cognition. Method: We compared the performance of 17 patients with polysomnographic diagnosis of OSA in brief cognitive tests to that of 20 healthy controls, matched for age and education. The testing battery included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Brief Cognitive Screening Battery (BCSB), Digit-Symbol (DS) and Phonemic Verbal Fluency (FAS). Anthropometric measures and scores from the Epworth Sleepiness Scale were also recorded. Results: OSA patients performed significantly worse than controls in the MMSE, in memory items from the BCSB, in DS and also in FAS. OSA patients also exhibited higher body mass index, increased neck circumference and higher scores in Epworth Sleepiness Scale than controls. Conclusion: OSA significantly impairs cognitive performance, especially within the domains of attention, memory and executive functioning. These deficits may be detected by brief and easy-to-administer cognitive tests. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder associated with episodic sleep disruptions in airway patency, followed by reduction of oxygen saturation and arousals throughout the night. In result of the chronic deprivation of sleep which it determines, OSA can lead to impairment of productivity at work, traffic accidents and also to endocrine and cardiovascular diseases [1][2][3][4][5] .The prevalence of OSA is estimated to range from 2% to 4% of the population aged 30 to 60 years, according to the first major US population-based study con-

Abstract: These results reinforce the need of including cognitive evaluation as a routine part of the neurological examination, independently of the presence of specific complaints in this domain.
