Subjective Cognitive Complaints

Background: Very few studies have explored the utility of subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) in primary care settings. Objective: We aim to investigate associations between SCCs (item-level), objective cognitive function (across domains and global), and mood in a diverse primary care population, including subjects with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: We studied 199 (75.9%females; 57.8%Hispanics; 42.2%African Americans) older adults (mean age 72.5 years) with memory concerns at a primary care clinic. A five-item SCC questionnaire, and objective cognitive assessments, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Geriatric Depression Scale, were administered. Results: Logistic regression analyses showed associations between SCC score and depressive symptoms. A memory-specific (“memory worsening”) SCC predicted scores on the MoCA (p = 0.005) in Hispanics. Conclusion: SCCs are strongly linked to depressive symptoms in African Americans and Hispanics in a primary care setting; a specific type of SCC is related to global cognitive function in Hispanics.

Wilcoxon Rank Test

Background Clinical trials on the prophylactic effect of propranolol and metoprolol for migraine show that starting this medication leads to a decrease in the use of attack medication of 0.9–8.9 doses per month. However, studies in daily practice are lacking. Methods We compared the number of triptans prescribed in the six months before and the six months after the start of propranolol/metoprolol in a Dutch national representative primary care cohort. Results Of the 168 triptan-using patients who started with propranolol or metoprolol, the number of triptans prescribed before starting was 4.6 doses per month. The number of triptans prescribed six months before compared with six months after starting propranolol/metoprolol decreased with 1.0 dose per month (Wilcoxon rank test; p = 0.000). Conclusion In this primary care population, although the number of triptans prescribed decreased after starting propranolol or metoprolol, the decrease is relatively small compared to data from clinical trials.
