The Dementia Checklist is a 12-item dementia rating scale for physicians who, for whatever reason, cannot be specifically trained. It addresses symptoms of cognitive decline that can easily be identified, and that are typical for different stages of cognitive impairment. This allows an easy classification of the severity of dementia. In a first study, the dementia checklist was used in 937 geriatric outpatients who were treated by neuropsychiatrists for depression. All items contribute to the accuracy of measurement (Cronbach's alpha = 0.84). Differences in cognitive impairment depending on age (chi 2 = 51.7; p < or = 0.001) and depression (chi 2 = 47.6; p < or = 0.001) indicate external validity of the dementia checklist and 5.7% of the outpatients were rated as demented. The Dementia Checklist provides a very economical and easy-to-use assessment of cognitive decline.
痴呆症检查表是一个由12个项目组成的痴呆症评定量表，供那些因任何原因无法接受专门培训的医生使用。它针对的是那些易于识别的、且在认知障碍不同阶段都很典型的认知衰退症状。这使得痴呆症严重程度的分类变得容易。在第一项研究中，痴呆症检查表被用于937名接受神经精神科医生治疗抑郁症的老年门诊患者。所有项目都有助于测量的准确性（克朗巴哈系数α=0.84）。认知障碍在年龄方面的差异（卡方=51.7；p≤0.001）以及在抑郁症方面的差异（卡方=47.6；p≤0.001）表明痴呆症检查表具有外部效度，并且5.7%的门诊患者被评定为患有痴呆症。痴呆症检查表为认知衰退提供了一种非常经济且易于使用的评估方法。
