Abstract

ABSTRACT This consensus, performed by the Brazilian Academy of Neurology (BAN) will approach practically how to evaluate patients with cognitive complaints and how to clinically and etiologically diagnose the three clinical syndromes associated with the different stages of cognitive decline: subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. This BAN consensus discusses SCD diagnosis for the first time, updates MCI and dementia diagnoses, recommends the adequate cognitive tests and the relevant etiological work-up and care of patients with cognitive decline at different levels of care within the Brazilian Unified Health System. We also review the main assessment instruments used in Brazil and Latin America.RESUMO Este consenso realizado pela Academia Brasileira de Neurologia (ABN) abordará de maneira prática como avaliar pacientes com queixas cognitivas e como realizar o diagnóstico clínico e etiológico das três síndromes clínicas associadas aos estágios de declínio cognitivo: declínio cognitivo subjetivo (DCS), comprometimento cognitivo leve (CCL) e demência. O diagnóstico de DCS é discutido pela primeira vez em consenso da ABN e as atualizações para o diagnóstico de CCL e demência são abordadas, bem como a recomendação para o uso de testes cognitivos apropriados, investigação etiológica pertinente e cuidados aos pacientes com declínio cognitivo nos diferentes níveis de atenção do Sistema Único de Saúde. Foi realizada pesquisa dos principais instrumentos de avaliação utilizados em nosso meio e na América Latina.
