Clinical Differences in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease According to the Presence or Absence of Anosognosia: Implications for Perceived Quality of Life

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the factors that predict anosognosia in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to examine the effect of anosognosia on patient and caregiver perceptions of the patient's quality of life (QoL-p), using a cross-sectional design with 164 patients and their caregivers. Instruments of measurement included Anosognosia Questionnaire-Dementia, Geriatric Depression Scale, Quality of Life in AD (QoL-AD), Disability Assessment for Dementia, Neuropsychiatric Inventory, and the Global Dete… Show more

“…3 However, there is substantive literature on the differences between selfreported and caregiver-reported QoL in people with dementia (PwD). [4][5][6] These differences have been interpreted as indicative of low level of agreement, 7 disagreement, 8 moderately low correlation, 9 and even high correlation. 10 Recognizing the often poor correlations between PwD and caregiver QoL ratings, Huang et al 11 have suggested as a possible explanation that PwD and caregivers employ different standards to evaluate QoL.…”

“…Es un resultado contrastado con múltiples investigaciones 16,[27][28][29] , aunque algunos autores no encontraron esta relación 25,26 y otros autores consideraron que los síntomas depresivos podían confundir la relación entre la anosognosia y la gravedad de la demencia, poniendo el acento en la relación entre anosognosia y declive cognitivo 30 .…”

En el estudio de Clare, et al 31 se observan diferencias entre el clúster de pacientes con menor edad y mayor anosognosia, aunque el tamaño de este grupo de pacientes es muy reducido (n = 11), respecto a los otros clústeres de pacientes.…”
