ABSTRACT
A review of the evidence on cognitive, functional and behavioral assessment for the diagnosis of dementia due to Alzheimers disease (AD) is presented with revision and broadening of the recommendations on the use of tests and batteries in Brazil for the diagnosis of dementia due to AD. A systematic review of the literature (MEDLINE, LILACS and SCIELO database) was carried out by a panel of experts. Studies on the validation and/or adaptation of tests, scales and batteries for the Brazilian population were analyzed and classified according to level of evidence. There were sufficient data to recommend the IQCODE, DAFS-R, DAD, ADL-Q and Bayer scale for the evaluation of instrumental activities of daily living, and the Katz scale for the assessment of basic activities of daily living. For the evaluation of neuropsychiatric symptoms, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and the CAMDEX were found to be useful, as was the Cornell scale for depression in dementia. The Mini-Mental State Examination has clinical utility as a screening test, as do the multifunctional batteries (CAMCOG-R, ADAS-COG, CERAD and MDRS) for brief evaluations of several cognitive domains. There was sufficient evidence to recommend the CDR scale for clinical and severity assessment of dementia. Tests for Brazilian Portuguese are recommended by cognitive domain based on available data.
RESUMO
Este artigo apresenta revisão e ampliação das recomendações sobre os testes e baterias empregados no Brasil para o diagnóstico e avaliação cognitiva, funcional e comportamental da demência na doença de Alzheimer (DA). De modo sistemático foi revista a literatura disponível (nas bases MEDLINE, LILACS e SCIELO) e os artigos foram avaliados e classificados por níveis de evidência, para se estabelecerem as recomendações. Para a avaliação funcional a recomendação é o uso das escalas IQCODE, DAFS-R, DAD, ADL-Q e Bayer para avaliação das atividades instrumentais da vida diária e escala Katz para avaliação das atividades básicas. Para avaliação dos sintomas neuropsiquiátricos foram recomendadas as escalas NPI e CAMDEX e a Cornell para depressão em demência. Como instrumento de rastreio deve-se utilizar o Mini-Exame do Estado Mental; quanto às baterias multifuncionais, pode-se aplicar CAMCOG-R, ADAS-COG, CERAD e MDRS, que avaliam brevemente várias funções cognitivas. Para avaliação clínica da demência e classificação de acordo com a gravidade é recomendada a escala CDR. São recomendados os testes por domínio cognitivo baseados nas evidências disponíveis para uso na nossa língua.
