Resumen
Esta investigación de tipo descriptivo, tiene como objetivo describir los indicadores clínicos relacionados con deterioro cognitivo leve presentes en hijos de personas diagnosticadas con enfermedad de Alzheimer esporádico. Para tal fin se implementó un extenso protocolo de evaluación de las funciones mentales superiores (atención, memoria, lenguaje, funciones ejecutivas y praxias) y los criterios de diagnóstico para el deterioro cognitivo leve propuestos y mundialmente implementados en el contexto clínico e investigativo por Ronald Petersen.
Se realiza este trabajo ya que el deterioro cognitivo leve se ha convertido en uno de los motivos de consulta más frecuentes en la práctica clínica neuropsicológica con pacientes adultos, además su gran auge investigativo ha logrado establecerlo como un posible predictor de enfermedad de Alzheimer.
Este trabajo se posiciona como el primero realizado en la Costa Atlántica con familias nucleares que presentan antecedentes de enfermedad de Alzheimer esporádico y se espera sea el punto de partida para el desarrollo de estudios longitudinales extensos que permitan hacer seguimiento al rendimiento cognitivo de adultos con antecedentes de enfermedades neurodegenerativas.
Por último, la presentación de los resultados corresponde a un análisis de variables cualitativas y dicotómicas realizado a través del programa estadístico SPSS 22.
This research work aims to describe the clinical indicators related to mild cognitive impairment present in children of people diagnosed with sporadic Alzheimer's disease in the city of Barranquilla. The cognitive functioning of the sample, its sociodemographic characteristics, the recording of neuropsychiatric symptoms and the results of the evaluation of the level of independence in the execution of basic and complex and instrumental activities of daily life were described here. This work was carried out since mild cognitive impairment has become one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in neuropsychological clinical practice with adult patients, in addition its great research boom has managed to establish it as a possible predictor of Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. . This work is positioned as the first carried out on the Atlantic Coast with nuclear families with a history of sporadic Alzheimer's disease and is expected to be the starting point for the development of extensive longitudinal studies that allow monitoring the cognitive performance of adults with a history of Alzheimer's disease. neurodegenerative diseases.
