The National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices Consensus Recommendations for the Evaluation and Management of Dementia in Adults With Intellectual Disabilities

Abstract: Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are increasingly presenting to their health care professionals with concerns related to growing older. One particularly challenging clinical question is related to the evaluation of suspected cognitive decline or dementia in older adults with I/DD, a question that most physicians feel ill-prepared to answer. The National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices was convened to help formally address this topic, which remains la… Show more

“…Unclear is whether stressful experiences (such as the death of a loved one) or transitional life events (such as graduation from high school) are precipitants. Alzheimer's disease is unlikely to present in patients with DS younger than 35 years [Moran et al, 2013]; this subset of patients with clinical decline demonstrates different and more rapid deterioration.…”

“…Por su parte, el National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices (NTG) recomienda un enfoque de nueve pasos en el proceso de evaluaci贸n: 1) reunir informaci贸n m茅dica e historial psiqui谩trico relevante; 2) obtener una descripci贸n hist贸rica del funcionamiento basal; 3) obtener una descripci贸n del funcionamiento actual y compararlo con la l铆nea base; 4) realizar una revisi贸n focalizada en las 谩reas destacadas a tratar; 5) revisar minuciosamente la medicaci贸n; 6) obtener una relevante historia familiar; 7) evaluar otras cuestiones o cambios psicol贸gicos; 8) revisar la historia social, entorno social y nivel de apoyos; 9) sintetizar la informaci贸n (Moran et al, 2013 En personas con SD, el Dementia Scale for Down Syndrome (DSDS) tiene buena especificidad pero mediocre sensibilidad (Jozsvai et al, 2009). Es un instrumento que fue dise帽ado principalmente para la evaluaci贸n de la demencia en adultos con DI severa o profunda, pero tambi茅n ha resultado 煤til para evaluar DI leve o moderada.…”

“…Aunque hay poca evidencia en la literatura actual sobre la eficacia, seguridad y tolerabilidad de las intervenciones farmacol贸gicas para la demencia en adultos con DI, el tratamiento de la demencia deber铆a implicar un abordaje tanto farmacol贸gico como no farmacol贸gico (Moran et al, 2013), debiendo incluir el farmacol贸gico medicamentos que reduzcan la progresi贸n del deterioro cognitivo, m茅todos de neuroprotecci贸n y la curaci贸n de la enfermedad, as铆 como f谩rmacos que sirvan de ayuda para las conductas an贸malas afectivas y/o psic贸ticas, como por ejemplo, la Risperidona, un f谩rmaco antipsic贸tico que ha demostrado reducir significativamente la agitaci贸n, agresi贸n y los s铆ntomas asociados a la psicosis en personas de la poblaci贸n general con EA (De Deyn et al, 2005;Rabinowitz et al, 2007).…”
