Background: Neurobehavioural comorbidities have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of people with epilepsy, yet tracking their impact is challenging as behaviour may vary with seizures and anti-seizure medication (ASM) side effects. Smartphones have the potential to monitor day-to-day neurobehavioural patterns objectively. We present the case of a man in his late twenties with drug-resistant focal epilepsy in whom we ascertained the effects of ASM withdrawal and a convulsive seizure on his touchscreen interactions.

Methods: Using a dedicated app, we recorded over 185 days the timestamps of 718,357 interactions. We divided the various smartphone behaviours according to the next-interval dynamics of the interactions by using a joint interval distribution (JID). During two ASM load transitions, namely before versus during tapering and tapering versus restarting medication, we used cluster-based permutation tests to compare the JIDs. We also compared the JID of the seizure day to the average of the previous 3 days.

Results: The cluster-based permutation tests revealed significant differences, with accelerated next-interval dynamics during tapering and a reversal upon medication restart. The day of the convulsion exhibited a marked slowing of next-interval dynamics compared to the preceding 3 days.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the temporal dynamics of smartphone touchscreen interactions may help monitor neurobehavioural comorbidities in neurological care.

背景:神经行为合并症对癫痫患者的生活质量有不利影响,但追踪其影响却很困难,因为行为可能会随着癫痫发作和抗癫痫药物(ASM)副作用的变化而变化。智能手机具有客观监测日常神经行为模式的潜力。我们介绍了一名二十多岁患有耐药性局灶性癫痫的男子的病例,我们确定了抗癫痫药物停药和抽搐发作对其触摸屏互动的影响:我们使用专用应用程序记录了 185 天内 718,357 次交互的时间戳。我们使用联合时间间隔分布(JID),根据交互的下一时间间隔动态来划分各种智能手机行为。在两个 ASM 负载转换期间,即减量前与减量期间、减量与重新开始用药期间,我们使用基于聚类的置换检验来比较 JID。我们还将癫痫发作日的 JID 与前 3 天的平均值进行了比较:结果:基于聚类的置换检验显示了显著的差异,在减药期间,下一时间段的动态变化加快,而在重新开始用药后,情况发生了逆转。与前 3 天相比,抽搐当天的下一时间动态明显减慢:我们的研究结果表明,智能手机触摸屏互动的时间动态可能有助于监测神经科护理中的神经行为合并症。

Background and purpose

The aim was to demonstrate the feasibility, reliability and validity of an in-home remote levodopa challenge test (LCT), as delivered through an online platform, for patients with Parkinson's disease (PwPD).

Methods

Patients with Parkinson's disease eligible for deep brain stimulation surgery screening were enrolled. Participants sequentially received an in-home remote LCT and an in-hospital standard LCT (separated by 2.71 weeks). A modified Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III omitting rigidity and postural stability items was used in the remote LCT. The reliability of the remote LCT was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient and the concurrent validity was evaluated using the Pearson's correlation coefficient r between the levodopa responsiveness of the remote and standard LCT.

Results

Out of 106 PwPD screened, 80 (75.5%) completed both the remote and standard LCT. There was a good reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.69–0.88) and a strong correlation (r = 0.84, 95% confidence interval 0.77–0.90) between the levodopa responsiveness of the remote and standard LCT. The mean cost for PwPD was estimated to be reduced by 91% by using the remote LCT.

Conclusion

The remote LCT is feasible, reliable and valid and may reduce healthcare-related costs for PwPD and their caregivers.

背景和目的:目的是证明通过在线平台为帕金森病患者提供的居家远程左旋多巴挑战测试(LCT)的可行性、可靠性和有效性:方法:招募符合脑深部刺激手术筛选条件的帕金森病患者。参与者依次接受了居家远程 LCT 和院内标准 LCT(间隔 2.71 周)。远程 LCT 采用的是运动障碍协会统一帕金森病评分量表第三部分的修订版,其中省略了僵硬和姿势稳定性项目。使用类内相关系数评估了远程 LCT 的可靠性,使用远程 LCT 和标准 LCT 的左旋多巴反应性之间的皮尔逊相关系数 r 评估了并发有效性:在 106 名接受筛查的残疾人中,有 80 人(75.5%)同时完成了远程和标准 LCT。远程和标准 LCT 的左旋多巴反应性之间具有良好的可靠性(类内相关系数 0.81,95% 置信区间 0.69-0.88)和较强的相关性(r = 0.84,95% 置信区间 0.77-0.90)。据估计,使用远程左旋多巴治疗仪可使患者的平均费用降低91%:远程左旋多巴检测仪是可行、可靠和有效的,可以降低残疾人及其护理人员的医疗相关成本。

Background and Purpose

Healthy lifestyle behaviour modification may improve health outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), but empirical evidence is needed to confirm prior study findings. We developed an online multimodal lifestyle intervention (Multiple Sclerosis Online Course) to examine the impact of lifestyle modification on health outcomes in pwMS via a randomized control trial (RCT). However, the present study specifically analyses baseline data to assess engagement with healthy lifestyles by RCT participants and cross-sectional associations with health outcomes.

Methods

Baseline engagement with six “healthy lifestyle behaviours” of the intervention course (high-quality, plant-based diet; ≥5000 IU/day vitamin D; omega-3 supplementation; ≥30 min physical activity 5 times/week; ≥30 min/week meditation; and nonsmoking) was examined. Associations between individual versus collective behaviours (individual behaviours summated) and health outcomes (quality of life [QoL]/fatigue/disability) were evaluated using multivariate modelling (linear/log-binomial/multinomial).

Results

At baseline, 33.7% and 30.0% of participants (n = 857) engaged in one or two healthy behaviours, respectively. In total, engagement with healthy lifestyles by participants was as follows: nonsmoking, 90.7%; omega-3 supplementation, 34.5%; vitamin D supplementation, 29.8%; physical activity, 29.4%; diet, 10.7%; and meditation, 10.5%. Individual behaviours (nonsmoking/physical activity/diet) were independently associated with better health outcomes. Engagement with multiple behaviours, especially diet and physical activity, was associated with better outcomes; engaging with ≥4 behaviours was associated with a 9.0-point higher mental QoL and a 9.5-point higher physical QoL, as well as 23% and 56% lower prevalence of fatigue and moderate disability, respectively.

Conclusions

Baseline engagement with ≥4 healthy behaviours, including diet and physical activity, was associated with better health outcomes.

背景与目的:改变健康的生活方式可能会改善多发性硬化症患者(pwMS)的健康状况,但需要实证证据来证实之前的研究结果。我们开发了一种在线多模式生活方式干预方法(多发性硬化症在线课程),通过随机对照试验(RCT)研究改变生活方式对多发性硬化症患者健康状况的影响。不过,本研究专门分析了基线数据,以评估 RCT 参与者参与健康生活方式的情况以及与健康结果的横断面关联:方法:对干预课程中六种 "健康生活方式行为"(优质植物性饮食;维生素 D ≥5000 IU/天;ω-3 补充剂;体育锻炼≥30 分钟/周 5 次;冥想≥30 分钟/周;不吸烟)的基线参与情况进行了研究。使用多变量模型(线性/对数二项式/多项式)评估了个人行为与集体行为(个人行为总和)和健康结果(生活质量[QoL]/疲劳/残疾)之间的关系:基线时,分别有 33.7% 和 30.0% 的参与者(n = 857)参与了一种或两种健康行为。参与者参与健康生活方式的总比例如下:不吸烟,90.7%;补充欧米伽-3,34.5%;补充维生素 D,29.8%;体育锻炼,29.4%;饮食,10.7%;冥想,10.5%。单个行为(不吸烟/体育锻炼/饮食)与更好的健康结果有独立关联。参与多种行为(尤其是饮食和体育锻炼)与更好的结果相关;参与≥4种行为与精神QoL提高9.0分和身体QoL提高9.5分以及疲劳和中度残疾发生率分别降低23%和56%相关:结论:基线参与≥4种健康行为(包括饮食和体育锻炼)与更好的健康结果相关。

Background and purpose

Although the Boston criteria version 2.0 facilitates the sensitivity of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) diagnosis, there are only limited data about precursor symptoms. This study aimed to determine the impact of neurological and imaging features in relation to the time of CAA diagnosis.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with probable CAA according to the Boston criteria version 1.5, treated between 2010 and 2020 in our neurocentre, were identified through a keyword search in our medical database. Neuroimaging was assessed using Boston criteria versions 1.5 and 2.0. Medical records with primary focus on the clinical course and the occurrence of transient focal neurological episodes were prospectively evaluated.

Results

Thirty-eight out of 81 patients (46.9%) exhibited transient focal neurological episodes, most often sensory (13.2%) or aphasic disorders (13.2%), or permanent deficits at a mean time interval of 31.1 months (SD ±26.3; range 1–108 months) before diagnosis of probable CAA (Boston criteria version 1.5). If using Boston criteria version 2.0, all patients receiving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) met the criteria for probable CAA, and diagnosis could have been made on average 44 months earlier. Four patients were younger than 50 years, three of them with supporting pathology. Cognitive deficits were most common (34.6%) at the time of diagnosis.

Conclusions

Non-haemorrhagic MRI markers enhance the sensitivity of diagnosing probable CAA; however, further prospective studies are proposed to establish a minimum age for inclusion. As the neurological overture of CAA may occur several years before clinical diagnosis, early clarification by MRI including haemosensitive sequences are suggested.

背景和目的:尽管波士顿标准2.0版提高了脑淀粉样血管病(CAA)诊断的敏感性,但有关前驱症状的数据却十分有限。本研究旨在确定神经学和影像学特征对 CAA 诊断时间的影响:根据波士顿标准 1.5 版诊断出可能患有 CAA 的患者,于 2010 年至 2020 年期间在我们的神经中心接受治疗。采用波士顿标准 1.5 版和 2.0 版对神经影像学进行评估。我们对病历进行了前瞻性评估,主要侧重于临床过程和短暂性局灶性神经病发作的发生情况:81名患者中有38名(46.9%)在诊断为可能的CAA(波士顿标准1.5版)前的平均时间间隔为31.1个月(SD ±26.3;范围1-108个月)出现短暂的局灶性神经发作,最常见的是感觉障碍(13.2%)或失语症(13.2%),或永久性障碍。如果使用波士顿标准 2.0 版,所有接受磁共振成像(MRI)检查的患者都符合疑似 CAA 的标准,平均可提前 44 个月确诊。四名患者的年龄小于 50 岁,其中三人有支持性病变。诊断时最常见的是认知障碍(34.6%):结论:非出血性磁共振成像标志物可提高诊断疑似 CAA 的灵敏度;但建议进一步开展前瞻性研究,以确定纳入的最低年龄。由于 CAA 的神经症状可能在临床诊断前数年就已出现,因此建议通过磁共振成像(包括对血液敏感的序列)及早明确诊断。

Background and purpose: Considering the reliance of serum uric acid (SUA) levels on renal clearance function, its role in stroke outcomes remains controversial. This study investigated the association of renal function-normalized SUA (SUA to serum creatinine ratio, SUA/SCr), a novel renal function index, with the 1-year outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter observational study. Renal function-normalized SUA levels were determined by calculating the ratio of SUA to SCr. One-year outcomes included stroke recurrence, all-cause mortality, and poor prognosis. Multivariable Cox regression analyses and restriction cubic splines for curve fitting were used to evaluate SUA/SCr's association with 1-year stroke outcomes.

Results: Among 2294 enrolled patients, after adjustment for potential confounders, multivariable Cox regression analyses showed that each one-unit increase in SUA/SCr corresponded to a 19% decrease in 1-year stroke recurrence in patients with AIS. SUA/SCr was analyzed as a continuous variable and categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4). Compared with the Q1 reference group, Q2, Q3, and Q4 showed significantly lower 1-year stroke recurrence risks. The trend test indicated significant differences in the 1-year stroke recurrence trend from Q1 to Q4. In these patients, SUA/SCr did not show a significant association with poor prognosis or all-cause mortality. Curve fitting revealed SUA/SCr had a negative but nonlinear association with 1-year stroke recurrence.

Conclusions: In patients with AIS, low SUA/SCr may be an independent risk factor for 1-year stroke recurrence. Changes in SUA/SCr had no significant impact on 1-year poor prognosis and all-cause mortality.

背景和目的:考虑到血清尿酸(SUA)水平对肾脏清除功能的依赖性,其在卒中预后中的作用仍存在争议。本研究探讨了肾功能正常化 SUA(SUA 与血清肌酐比值,SUA/SCR)这一新型肾功能指标与急性缺血性卒中(AIS)患者 1 年预后的关系:这是一项前瞻性多中心观察研究。方法:这是一项前瞻性多中心观察研究,通过计算 SUA 与 SCr 的比值确定肾功能归一化 SUA 水平。一年的结果包括中风复发、全因死亡率和预后不良。采用多变量 Cox 回归分析和限制性三次样条曲线拟合来评估 SUA/SCr 与 1 年卒中预后的关系:结果:在 2294 名入选患者中,对潜在混杂因素进行调整后,多变量 Cox 回归分析显示,SUA/SCr 每增加一个单位,AIS 患者 1 年卒中复发率就会降低 19%。SUA/SCr 作为连续变量进行分析,并分为四分位数(Q1-Q4)。与 Q1 参考组相比,Q2、Q3 和 Q4 的 1 年脑卒中复发风险明显降低。趋势检验表明,从 Q1 到 Q4 的 1 年脑卒中复发趋势存在明显差异。在这些患者中,SUA/SCr 与不良预后或全因死亡率无明显关联。曲线拟合显示 SUA/SCr 与 1 年脑卒中复发呈负相关,但非线性:结论:在 AIS 患者中,低 SUA/SCr 可能是 1 年卒中复发的独立危险因素。SUA/SCr的变化对1年不良预后和全因死亡率无明显影响。

Background and purpose: The aim was to determine the value of autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) as a therapeutic intervention for progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) based on a systematic review of the current literature.

Methods: All studies from the databases PubMed and Google Scholar published in English before February 2024 which provided individual data for PMS patients were systematically reviewed. PICO was defined as population (P), primary progressive MS and secondary progressive MS patients; intervention (I), treatment with aHSCT; comparison (C), none, disease-modifying therapy treated/relapsing-remitting MS cohorts if available; outcome (O), transplant-related mortality, progression-free survival (PFS) and no evidence of disease activity.

Results: A total of 15 studies met the criteria including 665 patients with PMS (74 primary progressive MS, 591 secondary progressive MS) and 801 patients with relapsing-remitting MS as controls. PFS data were available for 647 patients. PMS patients showed more severe disability at baseline than relapsing-remitting MS patients. The average transplant-related mortality for PMS in 10 studies was 1.9%, with 10 deaths in 528 patients. PFS ranged from 0% to 78% in PMS groups 5 years after treatment initiation, demonstrating a high variability. No evidence of disease activity scores at 5 years ranged from 0% to 75%.

Conclusion: Based on the available data, aHSCT does not halt progression in people with PMS. However, there appears to be evidence of improved outcome in selected patients. Due to the heterogeneity of the available data, more comprehensive clinical trials assessing the efficacy of aHSCT across different patient groups are urgently needed to reduce variability and improve patient stratification.

背景与目的:本研究旨在通过对现有文献进行系统回顾,确定自体造血干细胞移植(aHSCT)作为进行性多发性硬化症(PMS)治疗干预措施的价值:方法:系统回顾了PubMed和谷歌学术数据库中2024年2月之前发表的所有提供PMS患者个体数据的英文研究。PICO的定义为:人群(P),原发性进展型多发性硬化症和继发性进展型多发性硬化症患者;干预(I),接受aHSCT治疗;比较(C),无,疾病修饰疗法治疗/复发缓解型多发性硬化症队列(如有);结果(O),移植相关死亡率、无进展生存期(PFS)和无疾病活动证据:共有15项研究符合标准,其中包括665名PMS患者(74名原发性进展型多发性硬化症患者,591名继发性进展型多发性硬化症患者)和801名复发缓解型多发性硬化症患者作为对照。647名患者获得了PFS数据。与复发缓解型多发性硬化症患者相比,原发性进展型多发性硬化症患者在基线时表现出更严重的残疾。在10项研究中,PMS的平均移植相关死亡率为1.9%,528名患者中有10人死亡。开始治疗5年后,PMS组的PFS从0%到78%不等,显示出很高的变异性。5年后无疾病活动证据评分从0%到75%不等:根据现有数据,aHSCT并不能阻止PMS患者的病情进展。结论:根据现有数据,接受造血干细胞移植并不能阻止 PMS 患者的病情恶化,但似乎有证据表明,部分患者的预后有所改善。由于现有数据的异质性,迫切需要更全面的临床试验来评估aHSCT在不同患者群体中的疗效,以减少变异性并改善患者分层。

Background and purpose

Parent artery atherosclerosis is an important aetiology of recent subcortical ischaemic stroke (RSIS). However, comparisons of RSIS with different degrees of parent artery atherosclerosis are lacking.

Methods

Prospectively collected data from our multicentre cohort (all were tertiary centres) of the Stroke Imaging Package Study between 2015 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients with RSIS defined as a single clinically relevant diffusion-weighted imaging positive lesion in the territory of lenticulostriate arteries were categorized into three subgroups: (1) normal middle cerebral artery (MCA) on magnetic resonance angiography and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI); (2) low-grade MCA atherosclerosis (normal or <50% stenosis on magnetic resonance angiography and with MCA plaques on HR-MRI); (3) steno-occlusive MCA atherosclerosis (stenosis ≥50% or occlusion). The primary outcome was 90-day functional dependence (modified Rankin Scale score >2). The clinical and imaging findings were compared between subgroups.

Results

A total of 239 patients (median age 60.0 [52.0–67.0] years, 72% male) were enrolled, including 140 with normal MCA, 64 with low-grade MCA atherosclerosis and 35 with steno-occlusive MCA atherosclerosis. Patients with steno-occlusive MCA atherosclerosis had the largest infarct volume. Low-grade MCA atherosclerosis was independently associated with cerebral microbleeding, more severe perivascular spaces in basal ganglia and higher total cerebral small vessel disease burden. Low-grade MCA atherosclerosis was an independent determinant of 90-day functional dependence (odds ratio 3.897; 95% confidence interval 1.309–11.604).

Conclusions

Our study suggested RSIS with varying severity of parent artery atherosclerosis exhibits distinctive clinical and neuroimaging characteristics, with low-grade MCA atherosclerosis associating with higher cerebral small vessel disease burden and worse prognosis.

背景和目的:母动脉粥样硬化是近期皮层下缺血性卒中(RSIS)的重要病因。然而,目前还缺乏对不同程度的母动脉粥样硬化引起的 RSIS 的比较:回顾性审查了 2015 年至 2017 年期间从我们的多中心队列(均为三级中心)中收集的卒中成像包研究的前瞻性数据。将定义为皮质动脉区域内单个临床相关弥散加权成像阳性病变的RSIS患者分为三个亚组:(1)磁共振血管造影和高分辨率磁共振成像(HR-MRI)显示大脑中动脉(MCA)正常;(2)MCA低级别动脉粥样硬化(正常或2级)。对各分组的临床和成像结果进行比较:共纳入 239 例患者(中位年龄 60.0 [52.0-67.0] 岁,72% 为男性),包括 140 例正常 MCA 患者、64 例低级 MCA 动脉粥样硬化患者和 35 例狭窄闭塞性 MCA 动脉粥样硬化患者。MCA狭窄闭塞性动脉粥样硬化患者的梗死体积最大。低级MCA动脉粥样硬化与脑微小出血、基底节更严重的血管周围间隙和更高的脑小血管疾病总负担独立相关。低度 MCA 动脉粥样硬化是 90 天功能依赖的独立决定因素(几率比 3.897;95% 置信区间 1.309-11.604):我们的研究表明,母动脉粥样硬化严重程度不同的RSIS表现出不同的临床和神经影像学特征,低级别MCA粥样硬化与较高的脑小血管疾病负担和较差的预后有关。

Background and purpose

Prior studies highlighted the high diagnostic specificity (ranging from 92% to 100%) of clinical signs observed in functional neurological disorders (FNDs). However, these signs are rarely looked for by epileptologists when trying to distinguish between functional dissociative seizure (FDS) and epileptic seizure. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of inter-ictal clinical signs of FND in a cohort of patients with probable FDS. The secondary objective was to compare the prevalence of inter-ictal FND clinical signs in FDS patients with age- and gender-matched epileptic patients without FDS.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with FDS seen at two tertiary care centres and epileptic outpatients were included in the study. Each patient underwent a physical examination, searching for inter-ictal clinical signs of FND.

Results

In the FDS group, 79% of patients presented at least one sign of FND, compared to 16.6% of patients with epilepsy (p < 0.001). Moreover, 66.6% of FDS patients presented three or more FND signs, whereas only 4.1% of epileptic patients did (p < 0.001). The median number of FND clinical signs in the FDS group was four (SD 1.7; 5.5). Using the threshold of three signs or more, the specificity of detecting three or more FND signs was 83.3%, with a sensitivity of 79.2%.

Conclusion

Inter-ictal clinical signs of FND are present in patients with FDS and should be looked for during neurological examination.

背景和目的:先前的研究强调,在功能性神经紊乱(FND)中观察到的临床症状具有很高的诊断特异性(从 92% 到 100% 不等)。然而,癫痫专家在试图区分功能性分离性发作(FDS)和癫痫发作时却很少注意到这些体征。本研究旨在确定一组可能患有 FDS 的患者中 FND 发作间期临床症状的流行率。次要目的是比较 FDS 患者与无 FDS 的年龄和性别匹配的癫痫患者发作间期 FND 临床症状的发生率:研究对象包括在两家三级医疗中心就诊的 FDS 患者和癫痫门诊患者。每位患者都接受了体格检查,寻找发作间期 FND 的临床表现:结果:在 FDS 组中,79% 的患者至少有一种 FND 征象,而癫痫患者中只有 16.6% 有此征象(P,结论:FND 的发作间期临床征象与癫痫的发作间期临床征象相似):FDS患者存在FND发作间期临床表现,应在神经系统检查时加以注意。

Background and Purpose

Precise and timely diagnosis is crucial for the optimal use of emerging disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer disease (AD). Electroencephalography (EEG), which is noninvasive and cost-effective, can capture neural abnormalities linked to various dementias. This study explores the use of individual alpha frequency (IAF) derived from EEG as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in cognitively impaired patients.

Methods

This retrospective study included 375 patients from the tertiary Memory Clinic of IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy. Participants underwent clinical and neuropsychological assessments, brain imaging, cerebrospinal fluid biomarker analysis, and resting-state EEG. Patients were categorized by amyloid status, the AT(N) classification system, clinical diagnosis, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) progression to AD dementia. IAF was calculated and compared among study groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to calculate its discriminative performance.

Results

IAF was higher in amyloid-negative subjects and varied significantly across AT(N) groups. ROC analysis confirmed IAF's ability to distinguish A–T–N– from the A+T+N+ and A+T–N+ groups. IAF was lower in AD and Lewy body dementia patients compared to MCI and other dementia types, with moderate discriminatory capability. Among A+ MCI patients, IAF was significantly lower in those who converted to AD within 2 years compared to stable MCI patients and predicted time to conversion (p < 0.001, R = 0.38).

Conclusions

IAF is a valuable tool for dementia diagnosis and prognosis, correlating with amyloid status and neurodegeneration. It effectively predicts MCI progression to AD, supporting its use in early, targeted interventions in the context of disease-modifying treatments.

背景和目的:精确和及时的诊断对于优化阿尔茨海默病(AD)新兴疾病调整疗法的使用至关重要。脑电图(EEG)具有无创和成本效益高的特点,可以捕捉到与各种痴呆症相关的神经异常。本研究探讨了如何利用脑电图得出的个体α频率(IAF)作为认知障碍患者的诊断和预后工具:这项回顾性研究包括意大利米兰 IRCCS San Raffaele 医院三级记忆诊所的 375 名患者。参与者接受了临床和神经心理学评估、脑成像、脑脊液生物标志物分析和静息状态脑电图检查。患者按淀粉样蛋白状态、AT(N)分类系统、临床诊断和轻度认知障碍(MCI)发展为阿德性痴呆进行分类。计算IAF并在研究组之间进行比较。结果发现,淀粉样变性患者的IAF较高,而轻度认知障碍患者的IAF较低:结果:淀粉样蛋白阴性受试者的IAF较高,不同AT(N)组之间差异显著。ROC分析证实了IAF区分A-T-N-与A+T+N+和A+T-N+组的能力。与 MCI 和其他痴呆类型相比,IAF 在 AD 和路易体痴呆患者中较低,具有中等程度的区分能力。在A+ MCI患者中,与病情稳定的MCI患者相比,2年内转为AD的患者的IAF明显较低,并且可以预测转为AD的时间(p 结论:IAF是一种有价值的痴呆症诊断工具,可用于诊断痴呆症:IAF与淀粉样蛋白状态和神经变性相关,是诊断痴呆和预后的重要工具。它能有效预测 MCI 向 AD 的进展,支持在疾病改变治疗的背景下将其用于早期、有针对性的干预。

Background and purpose

In October 2020, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) consensus statement for management of patients with neurological diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was published. Due to important changes and developments that have happened since then, the need has arisen to critically reassess the original recommendations and address new challenges.

Methods

In step 1, the original items were critically reviewed by the EAN COVID-19 Task Force. In addition, new recommendations were defined. In step 2, an online survey with the recommendations forged in step 1 was sent to the Managing Groups of all Scientific and Coordinating Panels of EAN. In step 3, the final set of recommendations was made.

Results

In step 1, out of the original 36 recommendations, 18 were judged still relevant. They were edited to reflect the advances in knowledge and practice. In addition, 21 new recommendations were formulated to address the new knowledge and challenges. In step 2, out of the 39 recommendations sent for the survey, nine were approved as they were, whilst suggestions for improvement were given for the rest. In step 3, the recommendations were further edited, and some new items were formed to accommodate the participants' suggestions, resulting in a final set of 41 recommendations.

Conclusion

This revision of the 2020 EAN Statement provides updated comprehensive and structured guidance on good clinical practice in people with neurological disease faced with SARS-CoV-2 infection. It now covers the issues from the more recent domains of COVID-19-related care, vaccine complications and post-COVID-19 conditions.

背景和目的:2020 年 10 月,欧洲神经病学学会(EAN)发布了《2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间神经系统疾病患者管理共识声明》。由于此后发生的重要变化和发展,有必要对最初的建议进行严格的重新评估,并应对新的挑战:方法:第一步,由 EAN COVID-19 特别工作组对原始项目进行严格审查。此外,还确定了新的建议。第 2 步,向 EAN 所有科学和协调小组的管理小组发送一份在线调查,内容包括第 1 步中形成的建议。第 3 步,提出最终建议:在第 1 步中,在最初的 36 项建议中,有 18 项被认为仍然具有现实意义。对这些建议进行了编辑,以反映知识和实践的进步。此外,还拟定了 21 项新建议,以应对新的知识和挑战。第 2 步,在送交调查的 39 项建议中,有 9 项按原样获得批准,其余建议则提出了改进意见。在第 3 步中,对建议进行了进一步编辑,并根据参与者的建议增加了一些新项目,最终形成了 41 项建议:对 2020 年 EAN 声明的修订为神经系统疾病患者面临 SARS-CoV-2 感染时的良好临床实践提供了最新的、全面的、结构化的指导。现在,它涵盖了 COVID-19 相关护理、疫苗并发症和 COVID-19 后病情等最新领域的问题。
