Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 60 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Data collected from the European collaborative study Support Monitoring and Reminder Technology for Mild Dementia (SMART4MD) and the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC-B) will be analyzed. Participants aged 60 years or older will be included in the analysis.

Who may be able to join

  • Individuals aged 60 years or older.
  • Participants with recorded oral health parameters and MMSE scores of either 30 or ≤26.

Who cannot join

  • Individuals with MMSE scores of 27, 28, or 29, as these scores represent a transition phase between normal cognition and cognitive impairment, which could introduce variability.
  • Individuals younger than 60 years.

About this study

Official title: Prediction of MMSE Scores for Cognitive Impairment: A Machine Learning Analysis of Oral Health and Demographic Data in Individuals Over 60 Years of Age

This study aims to explore the potential of using machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict cognitive status, specifically MMSE scores, based on oral health and demographic data. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of various ML models and identify the most relevant oral health indicators for predicting MMSE scores of 30 (normal cognition) or ≤26 (cognitive impairment) in individuals aged 60 and above.

Read the detailed description

This cross-sectional study utilizes oral health and demographic data from two existing cohort studies: the European collaborative study Support Monitoring and Reminder Technology for Mild Dementia (SMART4MD) and the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC-B). Participants aged 60 years or older will be included in the analysis. The data will be used to develop and evaluate machine learning models for predicting cognitive status.

Objectives:

  1. Primary Objective: To assess the potential of oral health parameters for binary classification of MMSE scores (30 vs. ≤26).
  2. Secondary Objective: To identify the most influential oral health parameters contributing to cognitive impairment predictions.
  3. Tertiary Objective: To compare the performance of Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and CatBoost (CB) classifiers in predicting MMSE scores using oral health data.
Being tested

  • MMSE ≤26Other

    Also called MMSE 30

    A dataset comprising participants with MMSE scores of ≤26 and 30 will be used to evaluate the classification performance of various machine learning techniques.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Detection perfomance

    The study measures the classification performance of Machine Learning classifiers. Performance metrics, Accuracy, precision, recall, F1-Score and confusion matrix will be used for the evaluation. The examination of the most important features relied on SHAP summary plots, providing visualizations of the influence of parameter groups on the output, organized by their importance. This importance is based on SHAP values, offering insights into features' effects on the ML model's decision-making process

    Measured: 5 mounths

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive Impairment and Healthy Control, run by Blekinge Institute of Technology at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection perfomance (time frame: 5 mounths). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2024.
