RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Assessment of cognitive functions in stable COPD patients using PGI Memory Scale and to analyze for their correlation with patients' characteristics and BODE index JF European Respiratory Journal JO Eur Respir J FD European Respiratory Society SP P2290 VO 40 IS Suppl 56 A1 Prem Parkash Gupta A1 Hitesh Khurana A1 Sachin Bansal A1 Dipti Agarwal YR 2012 UL http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/40/Suppl_56/P2290.abstract AB Background: COPD is a multisystem disorder with significant extrapulmonary manifestations.Aims: To assess cognitive functions in stable COPD patients using PGI Memory Scale Questionnaire [PGIMSQ] and to seek for any correlation with patients' characteristics and BODE index variables.Methods: We included 200 stable COPD patients and 50 healthy volunteers [HV]. Their baseline characteristics and BODE index variables were assessed. PGIMSQ was used to assess cognitive functions under 10 subsets (shown in Table 1).Results: The age of subjects in COPD Group was 61.37 ± 7.4 year, and of those in HV group was 59.76 ± 7.21 year. 105 COPD patients (52.5%) were having PGIMSQ scores beyond ± 3 SD of HV scores. PGIMSQ scores are shown in Table 1.View this table:Table 1Age, duration of illness, MMRC dyspnea and BODE index scores had inverse correlations with PGIMSQ scores. FEV1 and distance walked in six minute had positive correlations with PGIMSQ scores.Conclusions: We observed a global decline of cognitive functions in COPD group and observed their significant correlations with age, duration of illness and BODE index variables.
