[Usefulness of CAMDEX test in the analysis of clinical picture of dementia].
Mild to moderate dementia fulfilling ICD-10 criteria and with MMSE score below 24 was analyzed in a sample of 46 randomly chosen elderly people. Selected scales derived from Polish version of CAMDEX and its cognitive section (CAMCOG) were used for assessment of clinical picture. Psychopathological symptoms, e.g., depression were frequent, especially in female group. According to the results of multivariate analyses of CAMCOG subscales, the most frequent symptoms in mild dementia were: the impairment of recent memory, abstract thinking, and praxis (p < 0.001).
