Addenbrooke’S Cognitive Examination

V klinickom výskume sme vzorke pacientov (N = 67) z Domova pro seniory Nopova administrovali viaceré psychodiagnostické metódy s cieľom overiť ich reliabilitu a validitu pri širšom popise demencie. Kognitívny deficit sme zisťovali českými prekladmi testov Addenbrookský Kognitívny Test, Revidovaná Verzia, (ACE-R) a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Na screening depresie sme použili Škálu Geriatrickej Depresie v jej 15 položkovej českej verzii (GDS-15). Aktivity denného života sme posudzovali českými verziami Dotazníka Sebestačnosti (DAD-CZ) a Dotazníka Funkčného Stavu (FAQ-CZ). Použité metódy sa z psychometrického hľadiska ukázali ako reliabilné nástroje. In clinical research we have administered various psychodiagnostic methods to a sample of patients (N = 67) of Domov pro seniory Nopova (retirement home) with the objective to verify their reliability in context of broader description of dementia. The cognitive deficit was measured using the Czech translations of Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). For the screening of the depression we used the Geriatric Depression Scale in its 15-item Czech version (GDS-15). The activities of daily living were assessed using the Czech versions of Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD-CZ) and Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ-CZ). The reliability was verified with Cronbach’s alpha. The used methods proved to be reliable tools in psychometric terms.

Addenbrooke’S Cognitive Examination

ABSTRACTBackground:We aim to provide a conversion between Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, to predict the MMSE result based on ACE-III, thus avoiding the need for both tests, and improving their comparability.Methods:Equipercentile equating method was used to elaborate a conversion table using a group of 400 participants comprising healthy controls and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Then, reliability was assessed in a group of 100 healthy controls and patients with AD, 52 with primary progressive aphasia and 22 with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.Results:The conversion table between ACE-III and MMSE denoted a high reliability, with intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.940, 0.922, and 0.902 in the groups of healthy controls and AD, behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia, and primary progressive aphasia, respectively.Conclusion:Our conversion table between ACE-III and MMSE suggests that MMSE may be estimated based on the ACE-III score, which could be useful for clinical and research purposes.
