ABSTRACT
Background: Vascular dementia is a disabling condition in aged.
Objective: To characterize the geriatric patients suffering from vascular dementia, attended at the cerebrovascular disease clinic of the General Provincial Hospital "Camilo Cienfuegos" from Sancti Spíritus.
Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out in 102 patients with vascular dementia from a population of 621 aged from January 2008 to December 2012. The time of evolution between cerebrovascular disease and the appearance of dementia was determined. Topography of the stroke, extent and degree of dependence; as well as the age and color of the skin.
Results: Male patients (66.7 %) and those with black skin (81.4 %) predominated. There was a slight influx in those who developed the disease between 3 and 5 years (46.1 %). Cortical (77.5 %) and multiple (75.5 %) strokes were the majority, and patients with validation impairment predominated (56.9 %).
Conclusions: The clinical spectrum is the fundamental tool in the diagnosis and management of patients with vascular dementia, where the time of evolution and race are relevant, but not the imaging studies that require more detailed investigations.
