ABSTRACT Background People with Down syndrome (DS) have an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease ( AD ). Identifying factors associated dementia onset and subsequent survival will support in understanding the profile, improving timely diagnosis, management, care planning. Method Variables age at times were assessed 279 adults DS who accessed a community learning disability service. After outliers removed, regression hazard models used n = 265) 180), respectively. Results Earlier first...
As the HIV population ages, prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI) is increasing, yet few services exist for assessment and management these individuals. Here we provide an initial description a memory service people living with present data from evaluation undertaken in clinic. We conducted first 52 patients seen by patient demographic data, outcomes, diagnoses given interventions delivered to those 41 (79%) clinic had objective CI: 16 (31%) met criteria HIV-associated Neurocognitive...
Abstract Background Digital health technologies are increasingly being used to monitor, assess, and treat depressive symptoms in the community. However, many such rely on screening tools which were originally designed for use primary care clinics, as Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). These scales symptom-focused do not capture wider experiences of patient. We developed a new screen assessing digital setting. Named Mindstep Mood Cause Examination (MMCE), it was replicate predictive...
Three decades of data, collected at a community learning disability service in region the UK, are reported on. Participants included 579 people with Down syndrome (DS), who were followed up from baseline to point dementia diagnosis, and some cases until death. Since most DS develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD), aim was see whether certain neuropsychological measures changing prodromal stages AD, above that normal ageing, support timely diagnoses. Variables associated earlier age onset subsequent...
The systematic review aimed to identify whether changes in adaptive behaviour occur as people with Down Syndrome (DS) age, and if so, when how these occur. Both longitudinal cross-sectional observational studies were included, they reported on outcomes change for DS participants older than 30. In 2022, a search of three databases (Pubmed, Web Science, PsycInfo), database unpublished theses (ERIC) reference lists, found 26 eligible studies. Quality assessment revealed considerable bias at...
