“…The CAMCOG is most efficient for diagnosing AD at a cut-off of 70 to 80 points. 42,[50][51][52] Fifty percent of the asymptote corresponds to a CAMCOG score of 47. In Britain, patients tend to require admission to a nursing home when their CAMCOG scores fall below this level.…”

“…General cognitive functioning was assessed with the Cambridge Cognitive Examination of the Elderly (CAMCOG) [23]. The CAMCOG is a brief neuropsychological test that assesses a broad range of cognitive functions including memory, attention, concentration, calculation, executive functioning, language, praxis and gnosis.…”

“…The CAMCOG yields a total score of 105 with sub-scores for the various cognitive domains. The CAMCOG is a well-validated instrument with population-derived normative values available [23]. Other cognitive outcomes of interest include the immediate, short and delayed recall of the California Verbal Learning Tests (CVLT) [24] and the Digit Copy and Coding subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale [25].…”

Homocysteine, Grey Matter and Cognitive Function in Adults with Cardiovascular Disease

BackgroundElevated total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) has been associated with cognitive impairment, vascular disease and brain atrophy.MethodsWe investigated 150 volunteers to determine if the association between high tHcy and cerebral grey matter volume and cognitive function is independent of cardiovascular disease.ResultsParticipants with high tHcy (≥15 µmol/L) showed a widespread relative loss of grey matter compared with people with normal tHcy, although differences between the groups were minimal once the analyses were adjusted for age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, smoking and prevalent cardiovascular disease. Individuals with high tHcy had worse cognitive scores across a range of domains and less total grey matter volume, although these differences were not significant in the adjusted models.ConclusionsOur results suggest that the association between high tHcy and loss of cerebral grey matter volume and decline in cognitive function is largely explained by increasing age and cardiovascular diseases and indicate that the relationship is not causal.

Psychiatric symptoms/syndromes are frequent in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). However, only a few studies reported full psychiatric diagnoses in MCI. We describe the nosology and prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses in a group of 102 consecutive patients evaluated for suspected MCI and finally re-classified into dementia, MCI and No Cognitive Impairment. Psychiatric diagnoses were frequent in MCI and the other groups as well, however they were qualitatively different in each group.

Performance and normative values of a concise neuropsychological test (CAMCOG) in an elderly population sample

Abstract: Population-derived normative data are valuable for comparing an individual's score to the score which would be expected of the general population, given the individual's specific demographic characteristics.
