"Espectroscopia de prótons na demência de Alzheimer e no comprometimento cognitivo" / Proton spectroscopy in Alzheimer's dementia and amnestic mild cognitive impairment

Estudamos os achados da espectroscopia de prótons no córtex parietal-cíngulo posterior e das escalas MEEM, BRDS e FAST em pacientes com doença de Alzheimer - DA, comprometimento cognitivo amnéstico - CCA e controles normais - CN. Apenas as razões NAA/Cr e MI/NAA diferenciaram (p < 0.002) os grupos DA e CN. Houve correlação significativa do NAA/Cr e do MI/NAA com o BRDS (pontuação total - PT; atividades cotidianas - AC) e FAST, e do MI/NAA com o MEEM. Houve acréscimo de 5% na especificidade (CN x DA; CN x CCA), e de 2.4% (CN x DA) e 3.4% (CN x CCA) na acurácia diagnóstica, ao adicionar as razões NAA/Cr e MI/NAA às escalas BRDS (PT e AC) e FAST, aumentando a detecção de indivíduos com CCA e DA / We studied the findings of proton spectroscopy of the posterior parietal-cingulate cortex, and of MMSE, BRDS and FAST scales in subjects with Alzheimer disease - AD, amnestic mild cognitive impairment - MCI-A and normal controls - NC. Only NAA/Cr and MI/NAA differentiated (p < 0.002) the AD and NC groups. Significant correlation was found between NAA/Cr and MI/NAA with BRDS (total score - TS; everyday activities - EA) and FAST scales, and between MI/NAA and MMSE. Specificity increased in 5% (NC x AD; NC x MCI-A) and diagnostic accuracy in 2.4% (NC x AD) and 3.4% (NC x MCI-A) when NAA/Cr and MI/NAA ratios were added up to BRDS (TS & EA) and FAST scales, increasing MCI-A and AD detectability
