Introduction: We investigated the association between sleep disorders (SDs) and incident dementia in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Methods: Adults with a TBI between 2003 and 2013 were followed until incident dementia. Sleep disorders at TBI were predictors in Cox regression models, controlling for other dementia risks.
Article Synopsis
- The ADAS-Cog is designed to measure cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients, focusing on memory, language, and practical skills (praxis).
- A study assessing 341 participants with mild Alzheimer's over 24 months found that while language items were the most reliable, many other items, particularly in memory and praxis, were inconsistent.
- The findings indicate that the ADAS-Cog has limitations in accurately tracking cognitive decline over time due to the varying reliability and types of information captured by its items.
