Dementia detection in the community is challenging. The purpose of this paper is to review methods of dementia screening and provide a useable algorithm for screening for dementia a variety of clinical settings.
In recent years, a number of brief performance and informant-based assessments have been developed and validated in research, clinical, and community samples. These assessments are now complemented by patient self-reports that afford the ability to detect subjective cognitive impairment.
An optimal approach to dementia screening is to combine performance, informant, and self-reports, many of which can be completed in the waiting room or by non-physician staff prior to the start of the office visit. This diverse information may help inform the provider as to the presence or absence of a cognitive disorder, assist in staging the extent of the disorder, and help to develop a differential diagnosis and management plan.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 January 2024.
All research outputs
#10,325,337
of 33,738,238 outputs
Outputs from Current Geriatrics Reports
#41
of 154 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#154,215
of 491,801 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Geriatrics Reports
#2
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,738,238 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 154 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 491,801 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
