Method : For this study, we carried out dementia assessment examination of 34 patients with memory disturbance who have come to Cheongju oriental hospital of Daejeon university from April 2005 to February 2006. This study classified the patients as none-dementia(ND), questionable dementia(QD), and dementia(DA) groups and analyzed the result of examination.
Results: 1. K-DRS and SDS, K-DRS and SDS, NPI-Q(symptom) and NPI-Q(suffering), NPI-Q(symptom) and CCDR showed clear correlations statistically each other. 2. K-DRS scores showed the significant differences from that of ND and the other groups ; attention and conceptualization showed the significant differences between ND and DA, management and memorization showed the significant differences between DA and the other groups. 3. IADL scores showed the significant differences from that of DA and the other groups, NPI-Q(symptom) scores showed the significant differences between QD and DA, NPI-Q(suffering) scores showed no differences among all groups. 4. CCDR scores showed the significant differences from that of DA and the other groups, SDS scores showed the significant differences between ND and DA 5. MMSE- K and K-DRS showed strong correlations statistically each other.
