Abstract
Background: Chronic systemic inflammation is linked to cognitive decline pathogenesis. This study investigates the association between systemic inflammation markers and cognitive decline progression in a clinical cohort.
Methods: This prospective observational cohort study enrolled 295 participants. Cognitive decline progression was defined by an increase in clinical dementia rating (CDR) scores. The study examines the correlation between systemic inflammation markers, including systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), prognostic Inflammatory and Nutritional Index (PIV), and cognitive impairment progression.
Results: The presence of the APOE 4 allele and diabetes mellitus was associated with elevated PIV levels (P < 0.05). Additionally, AD patients had the highest SII levels, indicating increased inflammation compared to individuals with MCI and SCD (P < 0.05). After a mean follow-up of 17 months, 117 patients (51.31%) experienced cognitive decline progression. AD diagnosis, CDR, and SII were significant predictors of cognitive decline progression (All P < 0.05).
Conclusion: This study highlights the clinical significance of elevated systemic inflammation markers in identifying individuals at risk of cognitive decline. Addressing inflammation may offer a promising approach to improving cognitive health and mitigating age-related cognitive decline.
期刊介绍:
Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
