ABSTRACT
Abstract The Everyday Cognition (ECog) scale was created to evaluate the functional abilities of older adults across a wide range of abilities between normal aging and dementia. ECog screens cognitive alterations such as subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This early recognition is done by the measurement of the ability to perform the activities of daily living (ADLs).

Objective:

To establish the cross-cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the ECog Mexican version (M-ECog) in participants with SCD, MCI, and dementia coming from a memory clinic.

Methods:

There were 200 patients and their respective informants in a memory clinic of a third level hospital in Mexico City. Four groups were studied 50 cognitively healthy (CH), 50 SCD, 50 MCI, and 50 dementia. The clinical evaluation included sociodemographic and health characteristics, cognitive status by the Mini-Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Evaluation Spanish version (MoCA-E), and caregiver information (informants) about the difficulty in ADLs as well as the ECog Spanish version (M-ECog).

Results:

The M-ECog was significantly correlated with MMSE, MoCA-E, and ADLs. It showed the ability to discriminate the different cognitive declines (Cronbach's alpha 0.881). The intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.877 (95% confidence interval — CI, 0.850-0.902; p<0.001). The patient's group area under curve (AUC) of M-ECog for SCD was 0.70 (95%CI 0.58-0.82, p<0.005), for MCI it was 0.94 (95%CI 0.89-0.99, p<0.001) and for dementia 0.86 (95%CI 0.79-0.92, p<0.001).

Conclusion:

The M-ECog scale proves to be valid and reliable for measuring everyday abilities mediated by cognition. It is self-applicable without requiring extensive prior formation. It is useful to screen for SCD and MCI in older Mexican adults.
RESUMO
RESUMO A escala Cognição Cotidiana (ECog) foi criada para avaliar as habilidades funcionais de idosos em uma ampla gama de habilidades entre o envelhecimento normal e a demência. O ECog rastreia alterações cognitivas como declínio cognitivo subjetivo (DCS) e comprometimento cognitivo leve (CCL). Esse reconhecimento precoce é feito pela mensuração da capacidade de realizar as atividades de vida diária (AVD).

Objetivo:

Estabelecer a adaptação transcultural, validade e confiabilidade da versão mexicana do ECog (M-ECog) em participantes com SCD, MCI e demência provenientes de uma clínica de memória.

Métodos:

Foram 200 pacientes e seus respectivos informantes em uma clínica de memória de um hospital de terceiro nível na Cidade do México. Quatro grupos foram estudados 50 cognitivamente saudáveis (CH), 50 SCD, 50 MCI e 50 com demência. A avaliação clínica incluiu características sociodemográficas e de saúde, estado cognitivo pelo Mini-Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) e Montreal Cognitive Evaluation versão em espanhol (MoCA-E), bem como informações do cuidador (informantes) sobre a dificuldade nas AVD e o ECog versão em espanhol (M-ECog).

Resultados:

O M-ECog foi significativamente correlacionado com MMSE, MoCA-E e AVD. Mostrou capacidade de discriminar os diferentes declínios cognitivos (alfa de Cronbach 0,881). O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse foi de 0,877 (intervalo de confiança de 95% — IC95%, 0,850-0,902; p<0,001). A AUC do grupo do paciente de M-ECog para SCD foi de 0,70 (IC95% 0,58-0,82, p<0,005), para MCI foi de 0,94 (IC95% 0,89-0,99, p<0,001) e para demência foi de 0,86 (IC95% 0,79-0,92, p<0,001).

Conclusão:

A escala M-ECog mostra-se válida e confiável para medir habilidades cotidianas mediadas pela cognição. É autoaplicável sem exigir extensa formação prévia. É útil para rastrear MSC e MCI em adultos mexicanos mais velhos.
