Eur J Investig Health Psychol Educ 2024; 14:351-367. [PMID: 38391491 PMCID: PMC10887713 DOI: 10.3390/ejihpe14020024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of various music therapy interventions in ameliorating depressive symptoms in dementia patients, utilizing a network meta-analysis approach. We rigorously selected randomized controlled trials focused on music therapy for dementia with depressive symptoms from major electronic databases. The primary outcome measured was the impact on depressive symptoms, with the secondary outcome evaluating dropout rates across different intervention groups and standard care control groups. The research protocol has been duly registered with PROSPERO (Registration ID: CRD42023393059). Our network meta-analysis incorporated 14 randomized controlled trials involving a total of 1080 participants and examined a range of interventions, including active music therapy, listening to music, rhythmic music therapy, singing, and tailored music interventions. The analysis revealed that active music therapy combined with singing emerged as the most effective intervention, demonstrating a significant improvement in depressive symptoms in dementia patients (Standardized Mean Difference [SMD] = -0.89, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: -1.48 to -0.30). In contrast, listening to music alone showed a smaller effect (SMD = -0.26, 95% CI: -0.71 to 0.20). This study was particularly noteworthy for not showing higher dropout rates compared to standard care, indicating its feasibility and acceptability in clinical settings. The findings of our study indicate that active music therapy combined with singing is an effective approach to reducing depressive symptoms in dementia patients, potentially due to enhanced social interaction. These results offer new perspectives for dementia care, suggesting a promising direction for further research and clinical application.

Park SH, Cho YS. Predictive validity of the Cornell Scale for depression in dementia among older adults with and without dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Psychiatry Res 2022; 310:114445. [PMID: 35190341 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2022.114445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
This review analyzes the predictive validity of the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), considering cognitive function. Electronic searches were performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. Overall, 20 studies were reviewed, including 3,499 older adults, with and without dementia, who satisfied the selection criteria. Participants were stratified into the dementia, non-dementia, and mixed groups, and the diagnostic performance of the CSDD was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. In the dementia and non-dementia groups, the area under the curve was ≥ 0.9, confirming high accuracy of the test. The pooled sensitivity was the highest in the dementia group (0.87), followed by the mixed group (0.84) and non-dementia group (0.82). In the subgroup analysis based on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the ROC curve was 0.90 for older adults with MMSE scores < 15 and 0.87 for those with an MMSE score ≥ 15. Therefore, the CSDD can be considered excellent tool for assessing depression in all older adults, although its predictive ability is better for older adults with dementia compared to that in those without dementia. It can be used as a first-line screening tool for depression, regardless of cognitive function.

Abstract
Background In Vietnam, there has been, currently, no standardized tool for depression assessment for people with dementia (PWD). Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) is a widely studied and used scale for PWD worldwide. Objectives The aim of this study was to standardize the Vietnamese version of the CSDD (V-CSDD) in depression assessment in PWD through reliability and validity examination. Methods V-CSDD was rated in terms of reliability and validity with gold standard regarding “major depressive episode” and “major depressive-like episode” of DSM-5. Cronbach's α, ICC, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed. Results V-CSDD was found to have a high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.80), inter-rater reliability at sound ranking (ICC = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.81–0.94), maximum cut-off mark of 13 (sensitivity = 70%, specificity = 92%), and EFA, which suggested that V-CSDD may comprise 5 factors. Conclusions Results indicate the V-CSDD to be a reliable and valid assessment and to be beneficial in classifying and diagnosing depression in dementia outpatients in clinical contexts.

Abstract
Background: Health in the elderly does not merely refer to a condition free from disease but should also have elements regarding functionality and independence. Purpose: This study aimed to measure Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and to identify the factors affecting ADLs among the elderly population in Sleman District. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out using secondary data from the Multidimensional Elderly Care project, nested on the Health Demographic and Surveillance System in Sleman, involving 549 elderly participants. The independence of these elderly people was measured using an Activities of Daily Living Scale questionnaire. Factors measured were cognitive (using the Mini-Mental State Examination questionnaire), psychological (using the Geriatric Depression Scale or Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia questionnaires), economic (using the Financial Management Behavior Scale questionnaire), and nutritional status (using the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire). The data were analyzed using the chi-square test, Fisher test, and Poisson test for bivariate analysis, while multivariate analysis using a logistic regression test. Results: The prevalence of elderly dependence was 14.03%. Elderly dependence was significantly related to age, job, residence, financial management, dementia, depression, malnutrition, and stroke disease in the bivariate analysis. However, after multivariate analysis, only age (>86 years) (PR = 4.31; 95% CI = 1.91–9.72), malnutrition (PR = 6.62; 95% CI = 3.79–11.57), and stroke (PR = 3.06; 95% CI = 2.03–4.61) were still shown to be related to elderly dependence. Conclusion: Increasing age, malnutrition, and stroke in elderly people lead to higher dependency in their ADLs.

Abstract
Purpose Accurate pain assessment is critical to detect pain and facilitate effective pain management in dementia patients. The electronic Pain Assessment Tool (ePAT) is a point-of-care solution that uses automated facial analysis in conjunction with other clinical indicators to evaluate the presence and intensity of pain in patients with dementia. This study aimed to examine clini-metric properties (clinical utility and predictive validity) of the ePAT in this population group. Methods Data were extracted from a prospective validation (observational) study of the ePAT in dementia patients who were ≥65 years of age, living in a facility for ≥3 months, and had Psychogeriatric Assessment Scales - cognitive scores ≥10. The study was conducted in two residential aged-care facilities in Perth, Western Australia, where residents were sampled using purposive convenience strategy. Predictive validity was measured using accuracy statistics (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value). Positive and negative clinical utility index (CUI) scores were calculated using Mitchell's formula. Calculations were based on comparison with the Abbey Pain Scale, which was used as a criterion reference. Results A total of 400 paired pain assessments for 34 residents (mean age 85.5±6.3 years, range 68.0-93.2 years) with moderate-severe dementia (Psychogeriatric Assessment Scales - cognitive score 11-21) were included in the analysis. Of those, 303 episodes were classified as pain by the ePAT based on a cutoff score of 7. Unadjusted prevalence findings were sensitivity 96.1% (95% CI 93.9%-98.3%), specificity 91.4% (95% CI 85.7%-97.1%), accuracy 95.0% (95% CI 92.9%-97.1%), positive predictive value 97.4% (95% CI 95.6%-99.2%), negative predictive value 87.6% (95% CI 81.1%-94.2%), CUI+ 0.936 (95% CI 0.911-0.960), CUI- 0.801 (95% CI 0.748-0.854). Conclusion The clinimetric properties demonstrated were excellent, thus supporting the clinical usefulness of the ePAT when identifying pain in patients with moderate-severe dementia.

Abstract
Introduction: Parkinson's disease is a multisystem disorder which is characterized by a combination of motor and non-motor symptoms. Non-motor symptoms include: depression, cognitive impairment, autonomic and sensor symptoms. It is difficult to detect and treat depression symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease with dementia. Early identification and treatment of depression symptoms can greatly improve the quality of life in these patients, as well as facilitate the quality of caregivers' lives. Goal of the paper: The aim of our research was to evaluate frequency of depression occurrence in patients with Parkinson's disease with cognitive impairment. Patients and methods: We did a prospective study which included 59 PD patients, who came for a regular check-up to Neurological infirmary of the General Hospital in Niksic, in the interval from 1st January 2016to 31st December 2016, all of whom were previously diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. We tested their cognitive status using the Mini Mental State Examination scale. Out of 59 patients, 32 displayed cognitive deficit and were included in further research. We gave directions about testing to guardians or caregivers of the patients who displayed moderate or distinct cognitive impairment. The testing was done on the next check-up, with Cornell's depression scale. Results: Research showed that out of 32 patients, 5 (15.6%) didn't suffer from depression, 8 (25%) probably suffered from major depression, while 19 (59.4%) definitely suffered from major depression. On the cognitive scale, 6 (18.8%) patients had mild, 11 (34.4%) moderate and 15 (46.9%) distinct cognitive deficit. Out of 8 patients with probable depression 3 (9.4%) had mild, 3 (9.4%) had moderate and 2 (6.2%) distinct cognitive deficit. We can also: conclude that out of 19 (59.4%) with certain depression, 1 (3.1%) had mild, 5 (15.6%) had medium severe, and 13 (40.6%) had severe cognitive deficit. Conclusion: Prevalence of depression and dementia in Parkinson's diseasepatients is high. Our patients have moderate cognitive deficit in 34.4% of the cases, and distinct cognitive deficit in 46.9% of the cases; while 59.4% definitely suffers from major depression at some point of their illness. Their early detection is of great importance for treatment and quality of life of these patients.
