Abstract |
In clinical settings, Hasegawa's dementia scale, revised (HDS-R), and the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) are widely employed as simple mental function tests useful for the diagnosis of dementia. In recent years, for the early diagnosis of dementia, a simple computerized touch panel-type screening test (touch panel-type screening test), called the "forgetfulness consultation program" (Nihon Kohden Corp.), has been developed. We performed dementia screening using this touch panel-type screening test in 95 elderly subjects, and evaluated its usefulness in comparison with HDS-R or MMSE.
The results of evaluation using the touch panel-type screening test were significantly correlated with those using HDS-R and MMSE in the elderly subjects. This touch panel-type screening test was not time-consuming (about 3 min) since it includes only a small number of test items. It could also be performed solely by the examinee, and so was free from examinerrelated bias. Therefore, this method may be very useful for the diagnosis of dementia and evaluation of its severity. |
