AAIC 2023 | Measuring cognitive impairment in early Alzheimer’s disease

Dr Suzanne Hendrix, PhD, from Pentara Corporation, Salt Lake City, UT, talks about different techniques for quantifying cognitive impairment and disease progression. She mentions the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) as an effective scale for mild to moderate stages of disease progression, but that earlier stages can benefit from more specific neuropsychiatric evaluations. When comparing the results of different tests, converting values to ‘time-saved’ enables direct comparison, with certain tests performing better at different points of cognitive decline. Recorded at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC)® 2023 held in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
