Abstract

Early diagnosis and intervention of dementia is critical to minimize future risk and cost for patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate Figure-Copy Test(FCT), as a new dementia screening test, that can measure neurological damage and cognitive impairment, and then to examine whether the grading precesses for screening can be automated through machine learning procedure by using FCT imag es. For this end, FCT, Korean version of MMSE for Dementia Screening (MMSE-DS) and Clock Drawing Test were administrated to a total of 270 participants from normal and damaged elderly groups. Results demonstrated that FCT scores showed high internal constancy and significant correlation coefficients with the other two test scores. Discriminant analyses showed that the accuracy of classification for the normal and damag ed g roups using FCT were 90.8% and 77.1%, respectively, and these were relatively higher than the other two tests. Importantly, we identified that the participants whose MMSE-DS scores were higher than the cutoff but showed lower scores in FCT were successfully screened out through clinical diagnosis. Finally, machine learning using the FCT image data showed an accuracy of 73.70%. In conclusion, our results suggest that FCT, a newly developed drawing test, can be easily implemented for efficient dementia screening.

치매 증상의 진행 지연 및 관리비용의 절감을 위해서는 치매를 조기에 발견하여 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 치매와 관련된 인지신경학적 손상을 측정할 수 있는 간단한 그림검사인 도형모사검사를 개발하여, 치매 선별 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 또한, 도형모사검사의 이미지 데이터에 대한 기계학습을 통해 검사 채점의 자동화 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 270명의 일반 및 손상집단 참가자들에 대하여 도형모사검사, MMSE-DS, 그리고 시계그리기 검사를 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 도형모사검사의 점수는 높은 내적 일치도를 보였을 뿐만 아니라, 다른 두 검사 점수와 유의한 상관을 보여 검사의 타당성을 확인하였다. 세 검사의 치매 선별 정확도를 비교하기 위해 판별분석을 시행한 결과, 다른 두 검사와 비교했을 때 도형모사검사가 일반 및 손상 집단을 각각 90.8% 및 77.1%의 정확도로 예측하여, 집단에 대한 예측 수준이 상대적으로 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 신경과 진단을 통한 임상 결과를 통해, MMSE-DS를 통해 선별하지 못했던 치매 사례들을 도형모사검사를 이용하여 선별할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 도형모사검사의 이미지 데이터를 이용한 기계학습을 수행한 결과, 73.70%의 정확률로 집단을 예측하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 기존에 사용되어 온 치매 선별 검사의 한계를 보완하여, 시행과 채점이 간편한 새로운 그림검사를 개발하였다는 점에서 의의를 지닌다.
