摘要
目的研究高龄老年认知障碍人群精神和行为症状的发生率和严重程度。方法采用横断面研究方法,应用神经精神科问卷知情者版(neuropsychiatric inventory-questionnaire,NPI-Q)量表对作者医院住院和记忆门诊收治的80岁以上有记忆力障碍主诉的高龄老年人群进行调查,比较认知功能正常者和痴呆患者间精神和行为症状的发生率和严重程度。结果共纳入535例病例,其中认知功能正常组159例,痴呆组376例。NPI-Q检查结果显示,在过去1个月内高达86.7%的痴呆患者出现过至少一种精神和行为症状,而对照组的发生率为72.3%,显著低于痴呆组(P<0.01)。在痴呆组,情感淡漠/漠不关心(59.8%)、夜间行为与睡眠障碍(47.3%)和易激惹/情绪不稳(46.8%)是最常见和最严重的3种表现,其中情感淡漠/漠不关心和易激惹/情绪不稳症状均显著高于认知功能正常组(P<0.01)。痴呆患者组NPI-Q总分显著高于对照组(P<0.01)。结论在高龄老年痴呆人群中精神和行为异常症状的发生率和严重程度均显著高于认知功能正常者,正确认识和治疗这些症状有利于提高高龄老年痴呆患者的生存质量。
