Abstract:
Abstract. Due to physical limitations (e. g. difficulties in reading and writing), geriatric inpatients are often not able to complete relevant dementia screening tests. The Bamberg Dementia Screening Test (BDST) is a new dementia screening measure that can be administered in a few minutes as “true bedside” – test. 150 patients suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild or moderate dementia as well as a control sample of 40 cognitively unimpaired participants completed the BDST and the CERAD-Plus test battery. High correlations of BDST-subscores with CERAD subtests of corresponding content and between the total scores of the two tests could be found. Using the BDST, mild dementia and MCI patients could be discriminated from healthy controls with high sensitivity and specificity.
