“…Many of the tests used, like the Mini Mental State examination (MMSE) [5], are not specific and do not adequately detect patients with emotional disturbances thus presenting a high incidence of false positives in less educated and dis advantaged people [6][7][8]. Dementia rating scales like the KARfiFR global deterioration scale (GDS) [9] are, essentially, clini cal staging tools and have an important subjective compo nent sensitive to the clinical expertise of the rater.…”

Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and the Folstein Mini Mental State examination (MMSE) were obtained from 31 patients affected by probable dementia of Alzheimer’s type (DAT). qEEG data were examined both by spectral analysis (Fast Fourier Transformation) and by single frequency band topographical centroid, and compared with those of 24 healthy subjects of the same age group. DAT patients were found to have higher absolute power in the slow (delta and theta) frequency bands. Quantitative topographical assessment showed significantly more anteriorly located centers of gravity for the alpha and beta activity. Only alpha anteriorization was correlated with the degree of cognitive impairment as measured by the global deterioration scale and MMSE. It is concluded that quantitative topographical assessment was successful for the statistical handling of the EEG power maps, and to identify a potential parameter for the functional staging of the disease.

“…First, the MMS does not adequately detect patients with emotional disturbances [3], Chandler and Gerndt [4] and Nelson et al [5] have reported a high incidence of false positives in groups of less educated, schizophrenic or manic patients and in disadvantaged populations. Second, the MMS is not a sensitive indicator of focal versus diffuse hemispheric disease [2].…”

The quantified electroencephalogram (qEEG) of patients with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT) and normal elderly subjects was related to the Mini-Mental State (MMS) score. A statistically significant correlation was observed between MMS score and some qEEG parameters. This correlation indicates that the use of adequate spectral parameters of qEEG may provide information on the cognitive impairment of elderly subjects and may reduce the false-positive rate at a neuropsychological examination.

“…Scores of each subtest are plotted on a graph to illustrate the pattern of ability in each area. Cognistat has been administered to psychiatric and psychogeriatric patients (Chandler and Garndt, 1988;Fladby et al, 1999). The Chinese Cognistat was validated in a group of elderly Chinese stroke patients and reported to have a factor structure consistent with the original version (Chan et al, 2002).…”
