BACKGROUND: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is gaining importance as a focus of investigation, but adequate tools are needed for its quantification.
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a questionnaire to quantify SCD, termed the Subjective Cognitive Decline Questionnaire (SCD-Q).
METHODS: 124 controls (CTR), 144 individuals with SCD, 83 mild cognitive impairment subjects, 46 Alzheimer's disease patients, and 397 informants were included. The SCD-Q contains: part I, named MyCog, which is answered by the subject; and part II, TheirCog, which includes the same questions and is answered by the informant or caregiver. The 24 SCD-Q items assess the perceived subjective decline in memory, language, and executive functions in the last two years.
RESULTS: The MyCog scores of controls differed significantly from those of the other groups (p < 0.05) and there were significant differences in TheirCog scores between all groups. The optimal TheirCog cut-off score for discriminating between individuals with and without cognitive impairment was 7/24 (sensitivity 85%, specificity 80%). MyCog scores correlated significantly with anxiety and depression (r = 0.29, r = 0.43, p < 0.005), but no correlations were found with neuropsychological tests. TheirCog scores correlated significantly with most of the neuropsychological tests (p < 0.05). Informants' depression and anxiety influenced TheirCog scores in controls and SCD groups.
CONCLUSION: Self-perceived cognitive decline, measured by the SCD-Q part I (MyCog), discriminated SCD from CTR. Part II (TheirCog) was strongly related to subjects' objective cognitive performance, and discriminated between subjects with or without cognitive impairment. The SCD-Q is a useful tool to measure self-perceived cognitive decline incorporating the decliner and the informant perspective.
