| Annotation | The choice of a screening tool for detecting cognitive impairment and dementia is important and should be supported by evidence on its validity. The authors conducted a systematic review of papers reporting relevant data on the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III). Of 76 articles initially identified, just three studies met criteria for inclusion. Two studies showed evidence that the ACE-III can differentiate between people with or without a dementia. One study reported lower diagnostic cut-off points than those currently recommended and routinely employed in clinical practice. The authors conclude that there is currently limited research on the psychometric properties of the ACE-III. Overall, however, the ACE-III remains a clinically useful screening measure in dementia, and further lines of empirical enquiry to support its use are recommended. (RH). |
