| Popis: | Background The Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment (Qmci) test has been suggested to be an easy-to-use and precise screening tool for detecting postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). To provide essential information for future POCD studies in Taiwan, the present study provided data regarding the Taiwan version of the Qmci (Qmci-TW) test conducted in the normative Taiwanese population and changes in them over time. Methods The present study recruited adult native Taiwanese volunteers without known neurologic or psychiatric diseases. All enrolled participants received protocolized serial Qmci-TW test at baseline, 2-day follow-up, and 6-month follow-up. Results In total, 30 participants, 15 men and 15 women, were enrolled in this study. The baseline Qmci-TW score ranged from 55 to 80, with a mean of 68.9 and a standard deviation (SD) of 7. At 2-day follow-up, the mean Qmci-TW test score was significantly higher (by 5.3; SD = 7.3) than that at baseline (P = 0.001). At 6-month follow-up, the mean Qmci-TW score was 71.3 (SD = 6.1), with no significant difference compared with that at baseline. The decline in Qmci-TW scores by > 9 points on postoperative day 1 and by > 11 points at 6-month follow-up was the criterion for POCD. Conclusion The present study provided data regarding the Qmci-TW test conducted in the normative Taiwanese population and its time trajectory during the 6-month follow-up. |
