The Relationship

ABSTRACTBackground:Subjective memory complaints are a requirement in the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as they are thought to indicate a decline in objective memory performance. However, recent research suggests that the relationship between subjective memory complaint and objective memory impairment is less clear. Thus, it is possible that many people without subjective memory complaints who develop Alzheimer's disease are precluded from a diagnosis of MCI.Methods:The present study examined the relationship between subjective memory complaint assessed using the Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire (MMQ) and objective memory impairment assessed using standard neuropsychological measures in cases of amnestic MCI (n= 48), non-amnestic MCI (n= 27), and unimpaired healthy participants (n= 64).Results:Correlational and regression analyses indicated that subjective memory complaints displayed a poor relationship with objective memory performance. A subsequent discriminant function analysis indicated that subjective memory complaints failed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of MCI and resulted in increased rates of false negative and false positive diagnoses.Conclusion:The results of the present study suggest that a diagnostic criterion of subjective memory complaint reduces the accuracy of MCI diagnosis, resulting in an elevated rate of false positive and false negative diagnoses. The results of this study in conjunction with recent research indicate that a criterion of subjective memory complaint should be discarded from emerging diagnostic criteria for MCI.

Objective: Subjective memory complaints (SMCs) are associated with mild cognitive impairment and dementia but are understudied in African Americans (AAs). We compared SMC endorsement in white and AA participants and evaluated predictors of diagnostic progression. Methods: Initial visit variables, including SMC and memory performance, were compared within a cognitively normal race-matched sample of white and AA participants ( N total = 912; 456each race) to assess the presence and predictors of SMC, the predictors of future diagnostic progression, and the change in memory performance over time. Results: More white (32.9%) than AA (24.3%) participants reported SMC ( P < .01, ϕ = −.10). Subjective memory complaint was predicted by memory performance ( B = −0.03, standard error [SE] = 0.013, odds ratio [OR] = .968, P < .05) and race ( B = −0.99, SE = 0.080, OR = .373, P < .001). Subjective memory complaints and memory performance were associated with progression, χ2 (3, n = 912) = 102.37, P < .001. African American race (−2.05 ± 0.24 SE) and SMC (−0.45 ± 0.21 SE) were associated with worse memory performance at baseline and over time, χ 2(3) = 13.54, P < .01. Conclusions: In contrast to previous research, our study found that SMC is associated with diagnostic progression and objective memory declines in both white and AA participants.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Subjective memory complaints (SMCs) among stroke patients are common. To date, reports on SMCs using the Subjective Memory Complaint Questionnaire (SMCQ) are limited. We provided descriptive information on SMCs using the SMCQ alongside objective neuropsychological function assessment in stroke patients and established the sensitivity of SMCQ for post-stroke dementia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In total, 419 consecutive stroke patients who were admitted to a stroke unit for younger populations (age &#x3c;65 years) at a rehabilitation hospital from June 1, 2014, to January 1, 2020, were reviewed. SMCs were measured using the SMCQ. Objective neuropsychological function was assessed using protocols of the Vascular Cognitive Impairment Harmonization Standards. <b><i>Results:</i></b> SMCs were significantly correlated with objective neuropsychological functions including memory, executive function, language, and depression. SMCs were not significantly correlated with visuospatial function. The SMCQ exhibited comparable sensitivity to that of Mini-Mental Status Examination for evaluating post-stroke dementia. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The SMCQ may be a valid measure of cognitive function among patients with stroke, is sensitive for post-stroke dementia, and may assume a complementary role for assessing patients with stroke.
