[Speech therapy after memory consultation: characteristics of patients receiving speech therapy sessions]

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
This real-life study aims to describe and compare the characteristics of patients who do or do not receive speech therapy after a memory consultation. Socio-demographic and medical data from the MEMORA cohort were matched with speech therapy reimbursement data from the French caisse primaire d'assurance maladie. Univariate analyses showed that speech therapy was more frequent in men, in patients with higher or secondary education, in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and having a higher MMSE. The multivariate model showed that only the diagnosis of AD remained strongly associated with the presence of speech therapy. The diagnosis of AD is the characteristic associated with the highest probability of future speech therapy. Female gender, lower level of education and lower cognitive efficiency appear to be associated with a lower probability of speech therapy.

Key findings
- Univariate analyses showed that speech therapy was more frequent in men, in patients with higher or secondary education, in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and having a higher MMSE.
- The multivariate model showed that only the diagnosis of AD remained strongly associated with the presence of speech therapy.
- The diagnosis of AD is the characteristic associated with the highest probability of future speech therapy.
- Female gender, lower level of education and lower cognitive efficiency appear to be associated with a lower probability of speech therapy.
Why it matters
This real-life study found that a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease was the characteristic most strongly associated with receiving speech therapy after a memory consultation, while female gender, lower education, and lower cognitive efficiency were associated with lower probability of speech therapy. It describes access to speech therapy, not treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Study details
- Evidence strengthModerate
How this study scored 33/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, so that was left out: it earned 32 of the 96 points we could judge it on, which is 33 out of 100.
