Patients recruited in the Romanian DESCRIPA (DEvelopment of Screening guidelines and clinical CRiteria for Predementia Alzheimer's disease) (QLK6-CT-2002–02645) study: patients admitted to the hospital between 1st of July 2005 and 31st of June 2006, the total of 450 patients of whom 55 were patients with MCI included in the study. To assess the prevalence of various risk factors and co-morbidities in all new patients with mild cognitive impairment admitted in the memory unit. To ascertain the validity of the international model for the distribution of co-morbidities and risk factors for MCI in Romania. There were inclusion and exclusion criteria for these patients. There were charts revealing the distribution of patients regarding gender and age, education, place of residence, prevalence of alcoholism, myocardial infarction, depression, relationship between prevalence of depression and the loss of memory, prevalence of osteoporosis. We have implemented new criteria to the Descripa data set in order to perform analyses with MCI subtypes. During two years follow up period we have been ascertaining the validity of the international model for the distribution of co-morbidities and risk factors of MCI in Romania. The study has been extended to a larger group of patients. The study actively screened for MCI patients admitted in The Day Hospital for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Memory Impairments founded by “Ana Aslan” International Academy of Aging in Romania, using international criteria for diagnostic. This study promoted correct evaluation and treatment of the patients, and is the first descriptive study in East-European countries on MCI. Within the study group, prevalence of co-morbidities such as cardiovascular, psychiatric or metabolic diseases, was evaluated and a model of distribution, adjusted for Romania was made. The study showed that The Day Hospital for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Memory Impairments founded by “Ana Aslan” International Academy of Aging in Romania is able to initiate and manage a larger group study.
