Validity of the free and cued selective reminding test in predicting dementia: the 3C study
Auriacombe, S.,
Helmer, C.,
Amieva, H.,
Berr, C.,
Dubois, B.,
Dartigues, J. F.
Objective: We assessed the validity of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) in predicting dementia 2 and 5 years after initial evaluation in a population-based cohort over age 65 years participating in the French 3 Cities (3C) study.; Methods: The FCSRT was administered at baseline along with demographics, cognitive and functional scales, and […]
Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination validation in Parkinson’s disease
Reyes, M. A.,
Perez-Lloret, S.,
Roldan Gerschcovich, E.,
Martin, M. E.,
Leiguarda, R.,
Merello, M.
Background: There is a clear need for brief, sensitive and specific cognitive screening instruments in Parkinson’s disease (PD).; Objectives: To study Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE) validity for cognitive assessment of PD patient’s using the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS) as reference method. A specific scale for cognitive evaluation in PD, in this instance the Scales […]
Cognitive decline from estimated premorbid status predicts neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease
This study investigated the relationship between premorbid and current cognitive function with respect to the clinical features of patients with various types of neurodegeneration in the form of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), as compared with a healthy control group (C). Clinical features (MMSE, cognitive and depressive symptoms), […]
Cued recall and other cognitive tasks to facilitate dementia recognition in primary care
Objectives: To compare the accuracy of commonly used tasks with that of the Visual Association Test (VAT), a conceptually different test involving cued recall of pictorial stimuli, in the recognition of dementia within primary care.; Design: A cross-sectional diagnostic study of concurrent validity.; Setting: Twenty-nine German primary care practices.; Participants: Four hundred twenty-three individuals in […]
Predicting road test performance in drivers with dementia
Objectives: To develop a cognitive and functional screening battery for the on-road performance of older drivers with dementia.; Design: Prospective observational study.; Setting: On-road driving evaluation clinic at an academic rehabilitation center.; Participants: Ninety-nine older people with dementia (63% male, mean age 74.2 ± 9), referred by community physicians to an occupational therapy driving clinic.; […]
Subjective report of word-finding and memory deficits in normal aging and dementia
Calley, Clifford S.,
Tillman, Gail D.,
Womack, Kyle,
Moore, Patricia,
Hart, John, Jr.,
Kraut, Michael A.
Objective: Compare subjective reports of both memory and word-finding deficits to clinical diagnosis and objective neuropsychological testing.; Background: With the increasing number of aging individuals with cognitive impairments, effective screening measures would improve the likelihood of detection. Subjective reports of symptoms are typically obtained in clinical settings, yet the validity of these reports is relatively […]
Early detection of memory impairment in people over 65 years old consulting at Health Examination Centers for the French health insurance: the EVATEM protocol
Vannier-Nitenberg, Christiane,
Dauphinot, Virginie,
Bongue, Bienvenu,
Sass, Catherine,
Rouch, Isabelle,
Beauchet, Olivier,
Krolak-Salmon, Pierre,
Fantino, Bruno
Background: Only half of those living with Alzheimer’s disease in France are currently diagnosed, and only one patient in three is supported during the early stages of dementia. This study aims to evaluate three cognitive tests for their predictive ability to diagnose mild cognitive impairments and Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. For people aged 65 […]
Early detection of patients in the pre demented stage of Alzheimer’s disease: the Pre-Al Study
Mahieux, F.,
Onen, F.,
Berr, C.,
Volteau, M.,
Habert, M. O.,
Legrain, S.,
Dubois, B.
Objectives: The aim of the Pre-Al study is to evaluate and compare the predictive value of different tools for an early identification of Alzheimer’s disease.; Design and Participants: Patients coming for consultation to memory clinics without dementia were included if they had an objective memory or attention trouble assessed by a MMSE score > 25 […]
A simple cognitive test which detects early decline in cognitive function
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine our new cognitive test which detects early decline in cognitive function.; Methods: Our newly developed Simple Cognitive test (SC-test) takes 3 minutes, during which participants choose the figures in which both the shape and color are different from the figure on the left end of each […]
