ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estudiar el riesgo de maltrato en una población de pacientes con demencia por parte de sus cuidadores principales, su correlación con otros factores y sus posibles indicadores predictivos. Metodología: Estudio transversal y observacional sobre 143 pacientes con demencia, con 4-6 en la Escala de Deterioro Global de Reisberg (GDS), y sus cuidadores principales. El riesgo de maltrato por parte del cuidador se evaluó con el Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE). Se analizaron otras variables demográficas, clínicas, cognitivas, psicopatológicas y funcionales en pacientes y cuidadores. Resultados: La edad media de los pacientes fue de 77,53 ± 7,4 años (67,1% diagnosticados de probable enfermedad de Alzheimer). La edad media de los cuidadores fue de 57,69 ± 15,39 años (68,5% mujeres; 49% hijos del paciente; 30,1% cónyuges). El 21% de los pacientes con demencia tenían riesgo de sufrir maltrato, según el CASE. El estudio de regresión lineal mostró que la sobrecarga del cuidador y su impulsividad, junto a la agresividad y comorbilidad psiquiátrica del paciente, aumentaban el riesgo de maltrato del cuidador al paciente (R2=0,671; p<0,001). Conclusiones: La agresividad en la relación paciente-cuidador dentro de la demencia es bidireccional. La agresividad del paciente, la sobrecarga del cuidador y su impulsividad fueron los principales factores de riesgo de maltrato al paciente en este estudio(AU)


Objective: To study the risk of abuse in a population of patients with dementia by their primary caregivers, its correlation with other factors and possible predictive indicators. Methods: Transversal and observational study on 143 patients with dementia, GDS 4-6, and their primary caregivers. The risk of abuse by the caregiver was assessed with the Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE). Other demographic, clinical, cognitive, psychopathological and functional variables were analyzed in patients and caregivers. Results: The mean age of patients was 77.53 ± 7.4 years (67.1 % diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease). The average age of caregivers was 57.69 ± 15.39 years (68.5% women; 49% children of the patient, 30.1 % spouses). Twenty-one percent of patients with dementia were at risk of being abused, according to CASE. The linear regression analysis showed that caregiver burden and impulsivity, patient’s aggressive behavior and psychiatric comorbidity increased the risk of abuse of the caregiver to the patient (R2=0.671, P<0.001). Conclusions: Aggression in the patient-caregiver relationship in dementia is bidirectional. Patient aggressiveness, and caregiver burden and impulsivity were the main risk factors for patient abuse in this study(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: LRRK2 mutations have been described as a common cause of Parkinson's disease (PD) in patients from northern Spain. Here we investigated the prevalence of these mutations in a cohort of Spanish PD patients (n = 96) from Extremadura, a region in southwestern Spain. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: To evaluate the rate of the G2019S and R1441G/C/H LRKK2 mutations in PD patients and healthy controls (n = 163). RESULTS: Here we show that the G2019S mutation is present at a low prevalence in our Spanish cohort, while the R1441G/C/H mutation, which has been reported to be common in northern Spain, was not observed in the PD patients or in the controls. CONCLUSION: LRRK2 mutations do not appear to be a common cause of Parkinson's disease in Extremadura, Spain.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Las mutaciones en el gen que codifica para la proteína LRRK2 se han asociado frecuentemente con la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) en pacientes en el norte de España. En este artículo se determina la prevalencia de algunas de las mutaciones más frecuentes en una cohorte de pacientes con EP (n = 96) en Extremadura, región situada en el suroeste de España. Sujetos y métodos. Se pretende determinar la presencia de las mutaciones G2019S y R1441G/C/H de LRRK2 en pacientes con EP y en individuos sanos (n = 196). Resultados. La mutación G2019S se presenta con una baja prevalencia en nuestra muestra, mientras que las mutaciones R1441G/C/H, frecuentes en el norte de España, no se han detectado en la muestra de enfermos ni en los controles. Conclusión. Las mutaciones en LRRK2 no parecen ser una causa frecuente de la EP en Extremadura (AU)
