Key result
The CAIDE risk score will be used to assess the long-term risk of dementia among 285 patients with stable coronary artery disease in this ongoing cross-sectional study protocol.
Why the study?
The impact of coronary artery disease on the later development of dementia is not well studied globally.
Cross-Sectional (n=285)
No
This study protocol outlines a cross-sectional approach to evaluate the long-term risk of dementia in Bangladeshi patients with stable coronary artery disease using the CAIDE risk score.
Protocol for dementia risk evaluation in stable CAD; leaves open clinical utility pending longitudinal data.
<ns4:p> <ns4:bold>Introduction</ns4:bold> : The impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on the later development of dementia is not well studied globally. Therefore, this study aims to determine the long-term risk of dementia using a mobile application-based tool in addition to elucidating the contributing factors among CAD patients. </ns4:p> <ns4:p> <ns4:bold>Protocol</ns4:bold> : This ongoing cross-sectional study is collecting data from 285 stable CAD patients admitted to the “Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital and Research Institute” for coronary revascularization from August 2019 to July 2020. The patients were recruited using a convenient sampling technique due to economic and logistical issues. Data were collected through a face-to-face interview using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Physical parameters (blood pressure and anthropometry) were measured while maintaining the adequate privacy of the patients. The biochemical parameters analyzed by the hospital lab were also collected. The next phase of this study involves the use of a mobile application-based tool, “The Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Incidence of Dementia (CAIDE)” risk score, to determine the risk factors associated with dementia. In addition, a descriptive statistical and inferential analysis will also be performed to determine the key contributing risk factors linked to the development of dementia. </ns4:p> <ns4:p> <ns4:bold>Ethics and dissemination</ns4:bold> : The study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethical Review Committee of Bangladesh University of Health Sciences. The results will be actively disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations, social media, online news portal, the internet, and various community/stakeholder engagement activities. </ns4:p> <ns4:p> <ns4:bold>Conclusion</ns4:bold> : As a baseline study of the country, this study will fill a key knowledge gap in the pathway to the development of better interventions for dementia in Bangladesh. Outcomes from this study will also help with raising awareness on the association of mental health-related issues with cardiovascular diseases so that an improved cardiac rehabilitation program can be implemented in Bangladesh. </ns4:p>

Omi et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=285). CAIDE risk score was evaluated on Dementia risk prediction (categorization by CAIDE risk score). The CAIDE risk score will be used to assess the long-term risk of dementia among 285 patients with stable coronary artery disease in this ongoing cross-sectional study protocol.
