| Annotation | The AB Cognitive Screen (ABCS) is an easily administered 3-5 minute cognitive screen. The mean ABCS score is significantly different between normal cognition (NC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and also between MCI and dementia. Verbal fluency and delayed recall sub-tests account for most of the instrument's sensitivity between NC and MCI. Verbal fluency was the most sensitive and specific of the sub-tests, especially in those aged 75+ with less than 12 years of education. These findings relate to a cross-sectional study of 302 participants with dementia and MCI at 4 geriatric clinics in southern Ontario, Canada. (RH). |
