The aim of this paper was to analyze the predictive function of the Pentagon's drawing test in elderly patients with organic and non-organic disorders. This is a cross-sectional study with 64 subjects over 60 years old and with at least two years of education. As the focus of this research we selected the pentagon copy of MMSE, according to the scale recommended by Bourke et al. (1995). The author established a 5-item-scale to evaluate the pentagonal design. Participants were divided into four groups: normal elderly for the control group (CG), elderly with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and elderly with non-organic disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and late paraphrenia. The outcome show statistically significant differences among normal elderly (NC), AD, OCD and Paraphrenia in cognitive instruments, such as MMSE (p> 0.0001), CAMCOG (p> 0.0001), Pentagon drawing (p = 0.006) and Clock Drawing Test by Mendez scale (p> 0.0001). ROC curves' analyses showed the greatest AUC in the pentagon drawing for the diagnosis AD (AUC = 0.756; p = 0.010), and sensitivity and specificity, respectively, 100% and 64%. It can be concluded the PDT has tha confluence of information (cognitive and motor) a more robust con fluence than other simplified instruments such as the MMSE. 2016 artículo científico 1668-7175 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=483551472009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4835/483551472009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4835/483551472009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4835/483551472009/483551472009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4835/483551472009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4835 Perspectivas en Psicología: Revista de Psicología y Ciencias Afines application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata Perspectivas en Psicología: Revista de Psicología y Ciencias Afines (Argentina) Num.2 Vol.13 |
