摘要
In 2021, an expert panel of clinician-scientists published the first consensus research diagnostic criteria for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES), a clinical condition thought to be associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy neuropathological change. This study evaluated the TES criteria in older adults and assessed associations between TES criteria and a history of repetitive head impacts. This cross-sectional, survey-based study examined the symptoms of TES, previous repetitive head impacts, and a variety of current health difficulties. To meet symptom criteria for TES, participants had to report progressive changes with memory, executive functioning, and/or neurobehavioral dysregulation. To meet the criterion for substantial exposure to repetitive head impacts via contact sports, participants reported at least 5 years of contact sport exposure (with 2+ years in high school or beyond). A sample of 507 older adults (mean age = 70.0 years, 65% women) completed the survey and 26.2% endorsed having one or more of the progressive core clinical features of TES. Those who had a significant history of contact sport exposure were not significantly more likely to meet TES criteria compared with those who did not (31.3% vs. 25.3%, p = 0.46). In a binary logistic regression predicting TES status, current depression or anxiety (odds ratio [OR] = 12.55; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.43-35.51), history of psychiatric disorders (OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.22-3.49), male sex (OR = 1.87), and sleep problems (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.01-2.91) were associated with meeting TES criteria. The sport exposure criterion, age, and current pain were not significantly associated with TES status (ps > 0.05). A significant minority of participants with no history of neurotrauma endorsed symptoms consistent with TES (22.0% of men and 19.8% of women). Nearly 80% of neurotrauma naïve participants with clinically significant anxiety/depression met criteria for TES. In summary, approximately one in four older adults met the symptom criteria for TES, many of whom had no history of repetitive neurotrauma. Mental health problems and sleep issues were associated with TES, whereas having a history of repetitive head impacts in contact sports was not. These data suggest that the new consensus diagnostic criteria for TES may have low specificity and may carry a higher risk of misdiagnosing those with other physical and mental health conditions as having TES.
