Memory in Neurology project (PAMNEU) aims to map the distribution and severity of cognitive impairment in patients of outpatient neurologic offices across the geographical area of the Czech Republic. 1000 patients in 50 neurologic offices will undergo cognitive tests (ALBA and PICNIR) and psychometric scales (FAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ) to asses their functional state and depressive symptoms.
The trial's primary goal is to assess the distribution of cognitive impairment among diagnostic groups in neurologic care according to the ICD-10. Additionally, the feasibility of ALBA and PICNIR methods to uncover previously undiagnosed cognitive impairments will be evaluated.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Observed group | No intervention will be administered on behalf of the project. The participants will be tested using ALBA and PICNIR (non-invasive) cognitive tests, and further FAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ questionnaires will be administered. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline ALBA | Amnesia Light and Brief Assessment (ALBA) test is an innovative method to assess cognitive functions quickly. The cognitive performance is scaled as an overall score between 0-12 (a lower value denotes a more severe cognitive impairment). | Established on Day 0 as a single assessment. |
| Baseline PICNIR | Picture Naming and Immediate Recall test (PICNIR) is an innovative test method to assess cognitive functions quickly. The cognitive performance is scaled as an overall score between 0-20 (a lower value denotes a more severe cognitive impairment). | Established on Day 0 as a single assessment. |
| Statistical analysis of ALBA results | Statistical analysis of ALBA results compared to groups determined by ICD-10 diagnosis and demographical data. | The final statistical analysis will be performed through study completion, an average of 6 months. |
| Statistical analysis of PICNIR results | Statistical analysis of PICNIR results compared to groups determined by ICD-10 diagnosis and demographical data. | The final statistical analysis will be performed through study completion, an average of 6 months. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline FAQ-CZ | Functional Activities Questionnaire - Czech version (FAQ-CZ) is a standardized questionnaire administered to assess a patient´s functional state regarding daily activities. Ten items of daily functioning are scaled between 0-3 (a higher value denotes a higher dependency) to reach the overall score between 0-30 (a higher value denotes a higher dependency). This version of the scale will be used for participants´ self-evaluation. |

The population is intended to be comprised of persons (50yrs+) living in the geographical area of the Czech Republic undergoing treatment at an outpatient neurologic office for a diagnosis defined in ICD-10 (excluding mental retardation). The probability sample will be created by a random selection of persons undergoing their regular outpatient neurologic checkups.

| Established as a baseline on Day 0. |
| Baseline GDS-CZ | The Geriatric Depression Scale - Czech version (GDS-CZ) is a standardized questionnaire administered to assess depressive symptoms, particularly in the elderly population. Fifteen items are scaled between 0-1 to reach the overall score between 0-15 (a higher value denotes a higher level of depressive symptoms). | Established as a baseline on Day 0. |
