✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 83 out of 100. Clinical trials

Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment

1,307 patients with SCD and with CDR = 0 at baseline were included. During the 5 years of follow-up, 519 patients showed cognitive decline. Incidence of aggravation score of CDR was 13.40% person years (95% CI [12.24-14.56]). Results showed a significant relationship between the McNair and Kahn Scale score and decline in cognitive performance (HR 1.012; 95% CI [1.002-1.021]; p = 0.0156). Among the 20 items, 5 were statistically significant to predict cognitive decline after adjustment. SCD is a promising indicator of memory impairment. Our study found that using the McNair and Kahn scale can predict cognitive decline. A 5-item version of this scale could be used to screen patients in clinical practice and in clinical research.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a large phase 3 trial. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 49 of the 59 points we could judge it on, which is 83 out of 100.
