title: [Screening tests for dementia: agreement between CST14 and ADS3 is incomplete (Cognitive Screening Test and Amsterdam Dementia Test)].
abstract: The agreement between two screening tests for the detection of dementia was tested by comparing a 14-item orientation questionnaire (Cognitive Screening Test or CST14) and the short version of the Amsterdam Dementia Screening Test (ADS3: Visual Memory, Orientation and Fluency. All 106 consecutive patients (71% female) of a psychogeriatric day care center were tested in two sessions. Their mean age was 77,7 (range 52-89). Taking the advised cutting-scores into account, we found consistent results for 74% of the patients (95%-confidence interval: 65%-82%): 60 patients were positive for dementia on both tests, and 18 were negative. For 28 patients the results were inconsistent, in that more patients scored in the impaired range for ADS3 than for CST14.
