Brief Summary

Memory in Neurology project (PAMNEU) aims to map the distribution and severity of cognitive impairment in patients of outpatient neurologic offices across the geographical area of the Czech Republic. 1000 patients in 50 neurologic offices will undergo cognitive tests (ALBA and PICNIR) and psychometric scales (FAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ) to asses their functional state and depressive symptoms. The trial's primary goal is to assess the distribution of cognitive impairment among diagnostic groups in neurologic care according to the ICD-10. Additionally, the feasibility of ALBA and PICNIR methods to uncover previously undiagnosed cognitive impairments will be evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Baseline ALBA

  Amnesia Light and Brief Assessment (ALBA) test is an innovative method to assess cognitive functions quickly. The cognitive performance is scaled as an overall score between 0-12 (a lower value denotes a more severe cognitive impairment).

  Established on Day 0 as a single assessment.

• Baseline PICNIR

  Picture Naming and Immediate Recall test (PICNIR) is an innovative test method to assess cognitive functions quickly. The cognitive performance is scaled as an overall score between 0-20 (a lower value denotes a more severe cognitive impairment).

  Established on Day 0 as a single assessment.

• Statistical analysis of ALBA results

  Statistical analysis of ALBA results compared to groups determined by ICD-10 diagnosis and demographical data.

  The final statistical analysis will be performed through study completion, an average of 6 months.

• Statistical analysis of PICNIR results

  Statistical analysis of PICNIR results compared to groups determined by ICD-10 diagnosis and demographical data.

  The final statistical analysis will be performed through study completion, an average of 6 months.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Baseline FAQ-CZ

  Established as a baseline on Day 0.

• Baseline GDS-CZ

  Established as a baseline on Day 0.

Study Arms (1)

Observed group

No intervention will be administered on behalf of the project. The participants will be tested using ALBA and PICNIR (non-invasive) cognitive tests, and further FAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ questionnaires will be administered.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 50 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

Study Population

The population is intended to be comprised of persons (50yrs+) living in the geographical area of the Czech Republic undergoing treatment at an outpatient neurologic office for a diagnosis defined in ICD-10 (excluding mental retardation). The probability sample will be created by a random selection of persons undergoing their regular outpatient neurologic checkups.

You may qualify if:

• Dispensarization of at least six months in an outpatient neurologic office with an ICD-10 diagnosis
• Age\>=50
• Permanent residency in the geographical area of the Czech Republic

You may not qualify if:

• Diagnosis of mental retardation (F70-F79) according to ICD-10
• Refusal to sign the informed consent and consent with GDPR
• Uncorrected visual impairment
• Uncorrected auditory impairment
• Impairment of hand movement preventing the patient from filling in the questionnaires.
• Inability to participate in the project
