Neuropsychiatric profiles and cerebral amyloid burden in adults without dementia
CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of older adults without dementia, both self- and informant-reported measures of global NPS, particularly patient-reported cognitive concerns and informant-reported anxiety and depression, corresponded with cerebral Aβ burden. NPS may appear early in the prodromal disease state and relate to initial AD proteinopathy burden, a relationship further exaggerated in those with greater clinical severity.PMID:38513620 | DOI:10.1159/000538376 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders)

Measuring Change Over Time on Cognitive Screening Measures: An Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of ACE-III, CBI-R and EMQ for the Purpose of Dementia Screening
Conclusion: Using a one-year interval, of the three measures used in this study, only the ACE-III Total Score may be a useful measure of change over time, although it should be applied cautiously due to the lack of representativeness of the sample and change scores should always be triangulated with other forms of evidence of deterioration.PMID:38479371 | DOI:10.1159/000534313 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders)
