摘要

背景:全球人口老龄化导致痴呆症确诊人数增加,而且预测显示有继续上升的趋势。这种人口结构的变化给全世界的患者、家属和医疗保健系统带来了深远的挑战。因此,现在比以往任何时候都更需要可靠、易用的筛查工具,以便在早期阶段发现痴呆症并监测其进展情况。维也纳医科大学开发的 "国际神经认知测试档案"(INCP)旨在通过提供用于早期检测痴呆症的数字测试组合来满足这一需求。本研究是 INCP 正在进行的开发和评估工作的一部分,专门调查性别对测试结果的影响:方法:在维也纳总医院通过传单招募了 70 名参与者,作为研究的一部分,他们使用平板电脑完成了 INCP 评估。研究使用曼-惠特尼 U 检验法分析了性别对 INCP 各项子测试成绩的影响。为了进一步进行探索性分析,我们计算了一个包含人口统计学变量(年龄和教育程度)、筛查数据和所有 INCP 分测验的相关矩阵:分析表明,在与执行功能有关的两项 INCP 分测验中,男女存在明显差异。男性在图形流畅性测试(r = 0.30,表明有中等程度的影响)和骰子 2-n 背测试(r = 0.29,表明有较小的影响)中的表现优于女性。然而,在对多重比较进行校正后,在这些子测试的得分上没有观察到明显的性别差异:在特定分测验中发现可能存在的性别差异,突出了在进一步开发和评估 INCP 时将性别作为一个变量考虑的重要性。这些发现为今后设计和规划涉及 INCP 的研究提供了宝贵的见解。

Gender differences in neurocognitive assessments: insights from a pilot study with the International Neurocognitive Test Profile (INCP) digital battery.

Background: The aging global population has led to an increase in the number of dementia diagnoses, with projections indicating a continued upward trend. This demographic change presents profound challenges for patients, their families, and healthcare systems worldwide. Consequently, the demand for reliable and user-friendly screening tools that can detect dementia at early stages and monitor its progression is more critical than ever. The International Neurocognitive Test Profile (INCP), developed at the Medical University of Vienna, aims to address this need by offering a digital test battery for the early detection of dementia. This study forms a part of the INCP's ongoing development and evaluation, specifically investigating the influence of gender on test outcomes.

Methods: Seventy participants, recruited through flyers at the Vienna General Hospital, completed the INCP assessment using tablets as part of the study. The effect of gender on performance across various INCP subtests was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U tests. For further exploratory analysis, a correlation matrix was calculated encompassing demographic variables (age and education), screening data, and all INCP subtests.

Results: The analysis revealed significant gender differences in two INCP subtests related to executive functions. Males outperformed females on the Figure Fluency Test (r = 0.30, indicating a moderate effect) and the Dice 2‑n Back Test (r = 0.29, indicating a small effect). However, when correcting for multiple comparisons, no significant gender disparities were observed in the scores of the subtests.

Conclusion: The identification of possible gender differences in specific subtests underscores the importance of considering gender as a variable in the further development and evaluation of the INCP. These findings offer valuable insights for the design and planning of future studies involving the INCP.
