简易精神状态检查表在胶质瘤患者认知功能评价中的初步应用

 目的　观察简易精神状态检查（MMSE）表在胶质瘤患者手术治疗前、后认知功能障碍评估中的初步应用。方法　应用MMSE表对36例原发脑胶质瘤患者实施术前、术后及3个月复查时的认知功能评定。结果　MMSE术前认知功能定量评价易于发现隐匿的认知功能障碍患者，术后定量评价利于术中对非功能区切除范围的保护及术中认知功能保护理念的形成。结论　MMSE表测验简单易行，操作方便省时，患者具有良好的依从性，适合应用于脑胶质瘤患者进行术前、术后认知功能的定量评价。

Preliminary application of MMSE cognitive assessment in the patients with glioma

Objective To observe the application of the mini-mental status examination （MMSE） cognitive assessment in the patients with brain glioma before and after surgery. Methods Using MMSE, 36 pastients with primary brain glioma were subjected to the cognitive assessment before surgery, after surgery, and 3 monthsr after surgery. Results The quantitative cognitive assessments with MMSE before surgery revealed the hidden cognitive dysfunction patients. The quantitative cognitive assessments after surgery showed that surgeons might need to protect the non-function area and to form the idea of cognitive function in patients with glioma. Conclusion MMSE assessment is a simple, understandably, and convenient method having good compliance of patient. It may be effectively used to assess cognitive impairment for patients with glioma and worth being studied continuously and used widely in the clinic practice.
