“…After applying the MTRQ/MCAR to the 14 remaining publications, a study validating the Manos version of the clock-drawing test was also excluded (Custodio et al, 2011 ) as the translation and cultural adaptation process was not described. Finally, 13 publications were selected for the definitive analysis (see the description in Table 2 ), five of which evaluated the MoCA (Pereira-Manrique and Reyes, 2013 ; Pedraza et al, 2016 ; Aguilar-Navarro et al, 2017 ; Delgado et al, 2017 ), three the IFS (Torralva et al, 2009 ; Ihnen Jory et al, 2013 ; Custodio et al, 2016 ), two the M@T (Custodio et al, 2014 , 2017a ), and one the memory, fluency, and orientation (MEFO) test (Delgado Derio et al, 2013 ); the Phototest (Russo et al, 2014 ) and the last one, about Memory Binding Test (MBT) (Roman et al, 2016 ). Of these publications, three were from Chile (Delgado Derio et al, 2013 ; Ihnen Jory et al, 2013 ; Delgado et al, 2017 ), three from Peru (Custodio et al, 2014 , 2016 , 2017a ), three from Colombia (Pereira-Manrique and Reyes, 2013 ; Gil et al, 2014 ; Pedraza et al, 2016 ), three from Argentina (Torralva et al, 2009 ), and one from Mexico (Aguilar-Navarro et al, 2017 ).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of brief cognitive screening (BCS) tools designed to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia in Spanish-speaking individuals over the age of 50 years from Latin America (LA). Methods: A systematic search of titles and abstracts in Medline, Biomed Central, Embase, Scopus, Scirus, PsycINFO, LILACS, and SciELO was conducted. Inclusion criteria were papers written in English or Spanish involving samples from Spanish-speaking Latin American individuals published until 2018. Standard procedures were applied for reviewing the literature. The data related to the study sample, methodology, and procedures applied, as well as the performance obtained with the corresponding BCS, were collected and systematized. Results: Thirteen of 211 articles met the inclusion criteria. The studies primarily involved memory clinic-based samples, with the exception of two studies from an adult day-care center, one from a primary care clinic, and one from a community-based sample. All the studies originated from five of the 20 countries of LA and all used standardized diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of dementia and MCI; however, the diagnostic protocols applied differed. Most studies reported samples with an average of 10 years of education and only one reported a sample with an average of <5 years of education. No publication to date has included an illiterate population. Although the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) is the most widely-used BCS tool in LA, it is significantly influenced by education level. Conclusions: Although evidence is still limited, the findings from studies on LA populations suggest that MoCA requires cultural adaptations and different cutoff points according to education level. Moreover, the diagnostic validity of the INECO frontal Custodio et al. Brief Cognitive Screenings to Dementia in Latin-America screening (IFS) test should be evaluated in populations with a low level of education. Given the heterogeneity that exists in the levels of education in LA, more studies involving illiterate and indigenous populations are required.

OBJECTIVES A higher prevalence and incidence of dementia is found in Hispanic/Latino older adults. Therefore, valid instruments are necessary to assess cognitive functioning in this population group. Our aim was to review existing articles that have examined and reported on the validity of cognitive assessment tools in Hispanic/Latino population groups in the United States. DESIGN Systematic literature review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analysis. MEASUREMENTS We systematically searched in the PubMed and Web of Science databases and assessed the quality of the search results using the Standards for the Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies. We included evidence from within the United States as well as from Spanish‐speaking countries of origin (Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean). RESULTS The literature search revealed 27 studies with adequate quality that investigated 13 instruments. The Mini‐Mental Status Examination (MMSE) was the most frequently investigated instrument in Hispanic/Latino groups in the United States with high sensitivity for dementia but also with significant differences for ethnicity and education. The Addenbrooke Cognitive Examination‐Revised, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, 10/66 short diagnostic schedule, clock‐drawing test, Phototest, Eurotest, and Executive Battery 25 had good diagnostic performance in Spanish‐speaking countries. The naming test and verbal fluency tests have a higher risk of misclassifying US Hispanics/Latinos who have dementia. CONCLUSION Evidence on validity suggests that the MMSE may be an appropriate cognitive assessment tool for Hispanics. More research is needed to confirm the validity of cognitive tools to assess Hispanic/Latino groups for Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias in the United States to reduce current trends of culturally biased under‐ or overdiagnosis of cognitive impairments.

Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the clock drawing test and to compare its scoring methods.Background: Dementia refers to a symptom where an adult demonstrates memory disorder and cognitive impairment. Early diagnosis of dementia is very important for medication management and prognosis. The clock drawing test is one of the most used cognitive screening tools for dementia. However, due to its scoring system, the accuracy of the clock drawing test remains a topic of debate. Design:A systematic review with meta-analysis following Cochrane's methods and the guidelines of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Data sources: A literature search was carried out in the OVID-MEDLINE, OVID-EMBASE and OVID-PsycINFO databases (27 October 2015).Review method: The quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS-2) tool was employed for this review. We used hierarchical regression models to pool the values of diagnostic accuracy in a random effects model. Results:A total of 18 studies with 5,531 participants were identified for this review. Fifteen of these studies were included for meta-analysis according to each scoring system. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the clock drawing test using the Shulman system were 82% and 75.7% respectively. In the Sunderland system, these were 72.6% and 87.9% respectively. Conclusions:The findings indicate that the accuracy of the clock drawing test using the Shulman system was the most studied and highly sensitive. After gaining a better understanding of the clock drawing test through this study, we recommend it for widespread use in the diagnosis of dementia.
