PAPSY - Memory in Psychiatry
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Memory in Psychiatry project (PAPSY) aims to map the distribution and severity of cognitive impairment in patients of outpatient psychiatric offices across the geographical area of the Czech Republic. 1000 patients in 90 psychiatric offices will undergo cognitive tests (ALBA and PICNIR) and psychometric scales (sFAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ) to asses their functional state and depressive symptoms. If applicable, caretakers will also be asked about the extent of the participant's autonomy and behavioral impairment (using oFAQ-CZ and MBI-C-CZ scales).
The trial's primary goal is to assess the distribution of cognitive impairment among diagnostic groups in psychiatric care according to the ICD-10. Additionally, the feasibility of ALBA and PICNIR methods to uncover previously undiagnosed cognitive impairments will be evaluated.

| Observed group No intervention will be administered on behalf of the project. The participants will be tested using ALBA and PICNIR (non-invasive) cognitive tests, and further sFAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ questionnaires will be administered. Questionnaires FAQ-CZ and MBI-C-CZ will be distributed to participants´ caretakers. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Baseline ALBA [Established on Day 0 as a single assessment.]
Amnesia Light and Brief Assessment (ALBA) test is an innovative method to assess cognitive functions quickly. The cognitive performance is scaled as an overall score between 0-12 (a lower value denotes a more severe cognitive impairment).
- Baseline PICNIR [Established on Day 0 as a single assessment.]
Picture Naming and Immediate Recall test (PICNIR) is an innovative test method to assess cognitive functions quickly. The cognitive performance is scaled as an overall score between 0-20 (a lower value denotes a more severe cognitive impairment).
- Statistical analysis of ALBA results, [The final statistical analysis will be performed through study completion, an average of 6 months.]
Statistical analysis of ALBA results compared to groups determined by ICD-10 diagnosis and demographical data.
- Statistical analysis of PICNIR results. [The final statistical analysis will be performed through study completion, an average of 6 months.]
Statistical analysis of PICNIR results compared to groups determined by ICD-10 diagnosis and demographical data.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Baseline MBI-C-CZ [Established as a baseline on Day 0.]
Mild Behavioral Impairment - Checklist - Czech version (MBI-C-CZ) is a standardized questionnaire to assess behavioral impairment in 34 items. Each item is scaled between 0-3 (a higher value denotes a higher severity) to reach the overall score between 0-102 (a higher value denotes a higher overall severity of behavioral impairments)
- Baseline sFAQ-CZ [Established as a baseline on Day 0.]
Functional Activities Questionnaire - Czech version (FAQ-CZ) is a standardized questionnaire administered to assess a patient´s functional state regarding daily activities. Ten items of daily functioning are scaled between 0-3 (a higher value denotes a higher dependency) to reach the overall score between 0-30 (a higher value denotes a higher dependency). This version of the scale will be used for participants´ self-evaluation.
- Baseline GDS-CZ [Established as a baseline on Day 0.]
The Geriatric Depression Scale - Czech version (GDS-CZ) is a standardized questionnaire administered to assess depressive symptoms, particularly in the elderly population. Fifteen items are scaled between 0-1 to reach the overall score between 0-15 (a higher value denotes a higher level of depressive symptoms).
- Baseline oFAQ-CZ [Established as a baseline on Day 0.]
Functional Activities Questionnaire - Czech version (FAQ-CZ) is a standardized questionnaire administered to assess a patient´s functional state regarding daily activities. Ten items of daily functioning are scaled between 0-3 (a higher value denotes a higher dependency) to reach the overall score between 0-30 (a higher value denotes a higher dependency). This version of the scale will be used for caretakers´ evaluation of participants´ functioning.
