Staging dementia using Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes scores: a Texas Alzheimer's research consortium study.
BACKGROUND The Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB) score is commonly used, although the utility regarding this score in staging dementia severity is not well established. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of CDR-SOB scores in staging dementia severity compared with the global CDR score. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Texas Alzheimer's Research Consortium mi...
متن کاملGreater precision when measuring dementia severity: establishing item parameters for the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale.
BACKGROUND/AIMS An item response theory (IRT)-based scoring approach to the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) can account for the pattern of scores across the CDR items (domains) and their differential abilities to indicate dementia severity. In doing so, an IRT-based approach can provide greater precision than other CDR scoring algorithms. However, neither a good set of item parameters nor ...
متن کاملThe tomography dementia rating scale (TDR)—The rating scale of Alzheimer’s disease stages
The purpose of this research is to develop a morphologically determined scale—the Tomography Dementia Rating scale (TDR) to diagnose AD stages, based on the measurement of the severity of voluminal atrophic changes of the temporal lobes of the brain detected among patients during CT and MRI at various stages of the disease. The research included 140 patients aged 28 79. Test Group comprised 81 ...
متن کاملAlternate-form reliability of the Dementia Rating Scale-2.
The Dementia Rating Scale-2 (DRS-2) is a frequently used assessment of cognitive status among older adults in both research and clinical practice. Despite its well-established psychometric properties, its use in serial assessments has posed limitations with regard to practice effects. The primary purpose of the present study is to provide preliminary evidence of alternate-form reliability for t...
متن کاملSubscale Validity of the Mattis Rating Scale Dementia
The Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS), a widely used dementia screening instrument, generates five subscale scores in the areas of Attention (ATT), Initiation-Perseveration (IP), Construction (CN). Conceptualization (CON), and Memo~ (MEM). The present study sought to determine the criterion validi~ of the DRS subscales in a sample of 50 patients with Alzheimer's disease (25 with mild and 25 wi...
