Title : Evidence summary of cognitive interventions for patients with subjective cognitive decline
Abstract:
Objective: To retrieve, evaluate, and summarize evidence related to cognitive interventions for patients with subjective cognitive decline.
Methods: Systematic search of BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, JBI Library, AHRQ, NICE, SIGN, GIN, Yimaitong Guideline, RNAO, World Health Organization, Canadian Medical Association Clinical Practice Guidelines network, Alzheimer's Association, American Psychological Association, American Geriatrics Society, European Academy of Neurology, Alzheimer's Disease International, China Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Chinese Medical Association Neurology Section, PubMed, EmBase, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and CBM for evidence related to cognitive interventions for patients with subjective cognitive decline, including clinical practice guidelines, evidence summaries, clinical decision-making, expert consensus, and systematic evaluations, with a timeframe for searching the database from its construction to December 7, 2023. Two researchers trained in evidence-based medicine independently performed quality assessment, evidence extraction, and summarization of the included literature.
Results: A total of 12 publications were included, including 1 guideline, 1 expert consensus, and 10 systematic reviews. 21 items of evidence were summarized into the following 8 categories: cognitive intervention principles, cognitive intervention content, cognitive intervention format, cognitive intervention assessment, cognitive intervention delivery methods, cognitive intervention dosage, cognitive intervention adjuncts, and evaluation of effectiveness.
Conclusion: Cognitive interventions can improve cognitive function and mental health in patients with subjective cognitive decline, and healthcare professionals should develop personalized cognitive intervention programs and apply them in practice, taking into account the clinical context and patient preferences.
