[Detection of cognitive impairment in the population of persons older than 64 years: first phase of the Cuida'l project].

UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVE. To know the proportion of people with positive result in test. Design. Cross sectional study in 53 health centers. SETTING. Primary care. PARTICIPANTS: Aleatory sample of non-institutionalised, elder than 64 years patients attended in the 53 health centers. MEASUREMENTS VARIABLES: age, sex, civil status, and educational level. The detection of cognitive deterioration (CD) was carried out in primary care units with Folstein's Mini Mental Test (MMT) and the Isaacs Set-Test in case of illiteracy. Cut-off points 24 and 27 respectively. CD predictor variables analysis with logistic regression. MAIN RESULTS: The tests were applied to 4,467 individuals (56.1% females). There were found as possible cases of CD 399 patients (72.2% with MMSE). Positive percentage was 7.78% (95% CI, 5.69%-10.99%) in males and 9.45% (95% CI, 7.31%-12.43%) in female, adjusting with indirect method, according to the 1996 Catalonia list of inhabitants. Significant predictor factors were found with the multivariate analyses: primary educational level in front of illiteracy (OR=1.40, 95% CI, 1.13%-1.74%) and age-groups: 74-79 years, 75-79 years and y >= 80 years in front of <70 years old (OR=1,48, 95% CI, 1.02%-2.14%, OR=2.29; 95% CI, 1.60%-3.28% and OR=5,02; 95% CI, 3.59%-7.03% respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The cognitive deterioration prevalence increases with age and it is less frequent in individuals with higher studies Using MMSE and Set-Test we found several possible cases of cognitive deterioration in our population.

[Validity of recording preventive activities in medical histories: consumption and antismoking counseling].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the percentage of tobacco consumers obtained by checking Primary care clinical notes (PCCN) with the percentage obtained by a telephone poll of the same people. To compare the record of tobacco counselling in the PCCN with that discovered by polling. DESIGN: Crossover and descriptive study. SETTING: Two urban health districts. PATIENTS: Random sample of 450 with PCCN and between 15 and 75 years-old. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: A telephone questionnaire with data on tobacco consumption and smokers' perceptions of anti-tobacco counselling. Data obtained from checking the PCCN were: age, gender, basic care unit, number of attendances, pathologies and related risk factors, tobacco consumption and counselling. Tobacco consumption did not figure in 51% of the PCCN. Out of the 108 smokers identified by telephone polling, only 61 had this fact in their PCCN. 55 of these smokers said they had been counselled, which was only recorded on 11 occasions in the PCCN. The probability of receiving counselling increased when patient was over 45, when there were pathologies or related risk factors, with frequency of attendance and with each daily cigarette smoked. CONCLUSIONS: The PCCN substantially under-record tobacco consumption and, especially, counselling. The smokers who receive most counselling are those have already, most probably, smoked for a long time.
