Abstract

Objective: To investigate the cognitive function of alcohol dependence patients with depression in Qiqihar city. Method: From January to October 2018, 62 patients with alcohol dependence and depression and 43 patients with alcohol dependence and non-depression were selected as subjects. The general data of the two groups were compared, and the repetitive neuropsychological status test (RBANS) scores of the two groups were compared. Result: There was a statistically significant difference in family history of alcohol dependence between the two groups (P<0.05). The visual breadth, attention factor, time-lapse memory factor score and total RBANS score of alcohol-dependent patients with depressive symptoms were significantly lower than those of alcohol-dependent patients without depressive symptoms (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that low visual breadth and low attention level were risk factors for depressive symptoms in alcohol-dependent patients. Conclusion: Alcohol-dependent patients with low visual coverage and low attention factor scores may have a higher risk of depressive symptoms, and early intervention in alcohol-dependent patients with depressive symptoms is important for the rehabilitation of patients.
