Abstract
|
|
|
|
As elderly population increases, more patients have been diagnosed as dementia. However, there is still underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of dementia due to inappropriate use of diagnostic tests. Therefore, physicians who care for people at high risk of dementia should be aware of exact protocols for the screening tests as well as neuropsychological (NP) tests. Many subdomains of cognition should be evaluated for the correct diagnosis of dementia. As there is many validated screening and NP tests, we have to understand the strengths and shortcomings of each test. In this review, we present protocols for a number of screening tools and NP assessment currently available.
