The Community Screening Interview for Dementia "CSI {D|# was developed as a screening instrument for dementia for use in cross!cultural studies[ It consists of two components\ a cognitive test for non!literate and literate populations and an informant interview regarding performance in everyday living[ The development of the CSI {D|\ involving harmonization\ translation\ back translation and pilot testing\ for use in _ve sites is described[ The results demonstrate the adaptability and utility of the CSI {D| in populations from very di}erent socioeconomic backgrounds[ The inclusion of informant data adds signi_cantly to the performance of the CSI {D| as a dementia screen[ The combination of informant and cognitive scores in a discriminant score produces better sensitivity and speci_city for dementia than cognitive scores alone[ The informant score has a signi_cant independent e}ect in predicting dementia[ Copyright Þ 1999 John Wiley + Sons\ Ltd[ KEY WORDS*Community Screening for Dementia "CSI {D|#^screening test^dementia^informant interview^cognitive test^cross!cultural studies Cross!cultural studies of dementia\ particularly those involving developing countries\ o}er a unique opportunity for identifying risk factors by providing a much wider diversity of environ! mental exposures than do studies in industrialized countries where important risk factors may be missed because of their very pervasiveness "Osun! tokun et al[\ 0881^Hendrie\ 0888#[ Cross!cultural studies present the researcher with major methodological problems\ however[ Not least of these problems is developing instru! ments for screening and clinical assessment that minimize cultural biases[ This process is par! ticularly challenging in studies of dementing dis!

Prevalences of dementia and cognitive impairment among older people in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review

“…12,15,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23] In one paper, two studies were reported, and we considered these studies separately. 24 Because of considerable heterogeneity in methods (sampling and study design), population samples (age, health, socioeconomic status, geographical region and cultural background) and screening or diagnostic measures, we did not pool the data but report our findings in narrative form.…”

Predictors of Cognitive Dysfunction among Patients with Moderate to Severe Chronic Kidney Disease

“…Cognitive function was screened using the CSID, TMTA, and TMTB. These test instruments had been used for assessing cognitive impairment, and satisfactory validity and reliability have been reported [27][28][29][30]. A total of 79 patients were selected by convenient sampling method based on order of presentation at the outpatient clinic, renal dialysis unit, or renal ward.…”
