ABSTRACT

El miniexamen del estado mental es un test breve y rápido, que puede realizarse en 5 ó 10 min y es ampliamente usado para evaluar el declive cognitivo. El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar a combatientes con DC leve según los resultados obtenidos en el miniexamen del estado mental. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo prospectivo de corte transversal que incluyó a combatientes con edad ³ 50 años, evaluados por su orden consecutivo en la consulta de demencia del Hospital Militar Central Dr Carlos J Finlay durante el período 2002-2003. Los 46 combatientes incluidos, se distribuyeron en 2 grupos: 26 con deterioro cognitivo leve y 20 sin deterioro cognitivo leve. Se encontraron alteraciones en el registro, atención y cálculo y recuerdo. El registro y recuerdo, solamente se afectó en el grupo con deterioro cognitivo leve. El puntaje total del miniexamen del estado mental fue significativamente menor en los pacientes con deterioro cognitivo leve que en el grupo sin deterioro cognitivo leve.


The minimental state examination is a simple and fast test (five or ten minutes), and is very used to assess the cognitive decline. The aim of present research was to characterize those combatants presenting with a mild cognitive deterioration according the results achieved in minimental state examination. Authors made a cross-sectional prospective and descriptive study in combatants aged ³ 50 assessed by its consecutive order seen in the dementia consultation at Dr Carlos J Finlay Central Military Hospital during 2002-2003. The forty six combatants included were divided into two groups: 26 presenting with mild cognitive deterioration and 20 without this state. We found alterations in register, attention, calculation, and memory. The register and the memory were affected in group with mild cognitive deterioration. Total score of minimental state examination was significantly lower in patients with mild cognitive deterioration than those in the group without it.
