ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the applicability of the modified memory sub-test of syndrom kurz test (SKT-M) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese.Methods:
Between March 1, 2017, and October 31, 2017, at HwaMei Hospital, 132 patients receiving elective great saphenous vein high ligation and stripping operation and 96 their accompanying dependents, 55-75 years old, were randomly divided into the SKT-M group (n=121) and auditory verbal learning test -huashan version (AVLT-H) group (n=107) using random numeral method. The two groups underwent two corresponding neuropsychological tests respectively on the day before surgery and the second day after surgery.Results:
There was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics and all the neuropsychological indices at the two time points between patients and dependents (P>0.05). As a consequence, the data of the patients and dependents were integrated to compare the applicability of SKT-M and AVLT-H. The "low-score" ratio of SKT-M immediate recall (2.4%) was lower than that of AVLT-H test (12.1%) (χ(2)=8.138, P<0.01). Besides, the "low-score" ratio of SKT-M delayed recall (5.7%) was also lower than that of AVLT-H test (20.5%) (χ(2)=11.167, P<0.01). The influence factors of SKT-M were less than that of AVLT-H test. However, the learning effect of SKT-M immediate recall was more significant, for its first testing sore (23.1±5.4) was significantly higher than the second one (21.9±5.1) (t=-3.971, P<0.001).Conclusion:
The SKT-M has better applicability to 55-75 years old Chinese than AVLT-H test, but its learning effect should be noted.Palavras-chave
