Interchanging Scores Between Clinical Dementia Rating Scale and Global Deterioration Scale

Abstract: Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale and Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) are commonly used to measure the severity of dementia. However, no specific rules are available to convert the scores of CDR into those of GDS and vice versa. Using a semi-structured interview, two examiners independently rated CDR and GDS in 78 patients with dementia and 34 controls. Regression analysis showed a curvilinear relationship between CDR and GDS. This curve may provide a rule to interchange the scores of GDS and CDR (or Sum o… Show more

“…Eligible patients were 50-85 years of age and had a diagnosis of aMCI according to the operationalized Petersen criteria [1], which included the following: a subjective memory complaint that was corroborated by an informant; objective memory decline, as defined by a delayed recall score of the Seoul Verbal Learning test worse than 1.0 standard deviations (SD) below age- and education-adjusted normative means [15]; normal general cognitive function, as defined by the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale of 0.5 [16], and a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of more than 1.5 SD below age- and education-adjusted normative means [17]; preserved activities of daily living (ADL), as defined by Seoul Instrumental ADL ≤7 [18], and a lack of dementia. All subjects had a Hachinski Ischemic Score ≤4 [19], brain MRI or CT showing no other diseases capable of producing cognitive impairment and a reliable informant who met the subject at least once a week and was sufficiently familiar with him/her to provide the investigator with accurate information.…”

“…The primary efficacy outcome was the change from baseline to PI in the modified AD Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog, range 0-89) [25]. Secondary outcome measures included the MMSE (range 0-30) [17], Digit Symbol Coding test (range 0-90), Stroop test (range 0-112), Animal Fluency, Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT), story recall test [20], Forward Digit Span test (range 0-9), Backward Digit Span test (range 0-8), CDR-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB, range 0-18) [16], 15-item version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15, range 0-15) [26], Caregiver-Administered Neuropsychiatric Inventory (CGA-NPI, range 0-144) [27], Bayer ADL (range 1-10) [28], Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ, range 16-80) [29,30], AD8 (range 0-8) [31], Prospective Memory Test (PMT, range 0-12) modified from the Royal Prince Alfred PMT [32], QOL-AD (range 0-52) [33] and Multifactorial Metamemory Questionnaire (MMQ)-Strategy subscale (range 0-76) [22,34]. The PMT consisted of four tests regarding short- and long-term, and event- and time-based prospective memory.…”

“…Some studies only included individuals with a specific level of severity, others included individuals with a range of severity levels; the most common selection was individuals across the spectrum of mild to severe dementia (n=4). When determining the severity, tools such as the Clinical Dementia Rating and the Global Deterioration Scale should be used as they assess multiple aspects of dementia: cognition, emotion, memory and functional ability (29) ; both scale were used in one study each (20,21) . Often, cognitive screening tools such as the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) are used to determine severity of dementia, and in this review it was the most commonly used approach to assessing severity of dementia (n=10).…”

“…Often, cognitive screening tools such as the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) are used to determine severity of dementia, and in this review it was the most commonly used approach to assessing severity of dementia (n=10). This tool is limited because it only assesses one element of dementia and is influenced by the educational level of an individual (29) . Due to the variation of tools used and the different aspects of dementia assessed, it was not possible to compare the effects of physical exercise on the severity of dementia across the studies.…”

“…Son muy escasos los estudios que buscan esta correlación; así Choi et al (29), realizan un estudio de intercambio de puntaje entre CDR y GDS y encuentran una correlación casi perfecta entre ambas escalas, de 0,97 para todos los sujetos, y de 0,97 y 0,96 para los subgrupos de sujetos sin demencia y enfermedad de Alzheimer y sujetos sin demencia y demencia vascular, respectivamente. Encontramos igualmente una correlación casi perfecta (0,97) para todos los casos de demencia, coincidiendo con estos autores.…”
