Evaluating measurement properties of subjective cognitive decline self-reported outcome measures: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is present in the early stage of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is associated with an increased risk of further cognitive decline and AD dementia later in life. Early detection of at-risk groups with subjective complaints is critical for targeted dementia prevention at the earliest. Accurate assessment of SCD is crucial. However, current measures lack important psychometric evaluations and or reporting.

Objectives

To systematically evaluate measurement properties of self-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used to assess SCD in the older adult population with or at risk of AD.

Methods and analysis

We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 Checklist for reporting.
