Abstract

Objectives: Cognitive impairment can be demonstrated in 40 to 65% of MS patients, starting from early stages. The aim of this study was to investigate alteration in cognitive impairment during long-term follow-up and the association with the disease characteristics. Method: Twenty-five MS patients (15 men, 10 women) were reexamined after an average of 5.3 years (range: 4.9-5.8). The disease duration, type, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores at the initial and last evaluations were recorded. They underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. Major depression was excluded. Results: The mean age of the patients was 39.2±9.3 years and the mean duration of the disease was 11.4±5.14 years. The mean EDSS score at the beginning and last follow- up were 2.92±1.52 and 3.56±1.92, respectively. At the end of the follow-up period, the patients performed poorly on the Corsi Block-Tapping Test (p<0.001) and there was a significant difference in maximum word line in the verbal memory processes test (VMPT) (p<0.001). Short-term memory scores, assessed with the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), decreased slightly, but the total recall score was significantly worse (p<0.001). There was also significant decrease in executive functions according to the stroop test (p<0.001), and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) results in patients with a longer disease course were worse. Besides, there was a trend for worsening in the clock-drawing test. The language skills were well preserved. Patients with a disease duration of &#8805;10 years scored worse on the stroop test, clock-drawing test, Benton Line Orientation Test (BLOT), WCST, and VMPT. Discussion: The cognitive deficits tended to worsen during long-term follow-up. There was no correlation between severity of disability and cognitive impairment. However, there seems to be an association between results of some tests and disease duration.

Özet

Amaç: Kognitif bozukluk, erken dönemden itibaren MS hastalarının %65’inde görülebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, uzun dönem takipte kognitif bozukluktaki değişimi araştırmak ve hastalık özellikleriyle ilişkisini saptamaktır. Yön­tem­ler: Yirmibeş MS hastası ortalama 5,3 yıllık (4,9-5,8) takip süresi ardından tekrar değerlendirildi. Hastalık süresi, tipi, ilk ve son değerlendirmedeki EDSS kaydedildi. Tüm hastalar detaylı bir nöropsikolojik değerlendirmeden geçti. Major depresyonu olanlar dışlandı. Bul­gu­lar: Ortalama yaşı 39,2±9,3 olan hastaların 15’i erkek, 10’u kadındı. Ortalama hastalık süresi 11,4±5,14 yıl, başlangıç ve en son kontroldeki EDSS skorları sırasıyla 2,92±1,52 ve 3,56±1,92 bulundu. Takip sonrası tekrarlanan testlerden Corsi Block-Tapping Testte hastalar düşük performans gösterdi (p<0,001) ve sözel bellek süreçleri testinde (VMPT), en fazla kelime öğrendikleri satırda anlamlı farklılık görüldü (p<0,001). WMS-görsel, kısa süreli bellek puanlarında hafif bir düşme görüldü, toplam hatırlama puanlarında ise anlamlı bir azalma saptandı (p<0,001). Hastalık süresi uzun olan hastalarda, yürütücü işlevlerde "stroop test" (p<0,001) ve "Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)"lerine göre anlamlı bir bozulma da saptandı. Ayrıca saat çizme testinde de bir bozulma gözlendi. Dil işlevlerinin korunduğu görüldü. Hastalık süresi ≥10 yıl olan hastalarda stroop, saat çizimi, Benton Line Orientation Test (BLOT), WCST, ve VMPT testlerinde daha düşük skorlar elde edilmiştir. So­nuç: Kognitif etkilenme zaman içerisinde artış gösterme eğilimindedir. Bu çalışmada özürlülük derecesi ile kognitif bozulma arasında bir anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. Fakat hastalık süresi ile bazı testlerin ilişkili olabileceği gözlenmiştir.
