The Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment-Revised (KSCA-R) was designed to be a cognitive screening tool available to health professionals who were not trained in specialized cognitive assessment techniques. It was introduced to bridge the gap between brief, narrowly focused rating scales, and intensive, expensive, full neuropsychological assessments. We now present the Brief Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment-Revised (BriefKSCA-R).
Groups of Alzheimer's disease patients, patients suffering from other dementias, and a group of normal community dwelling elderly were assessed using the BriefKSCA-R.
This shortened version of the full Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment-Revised can be given in half the time while retaining most of the full KSCA-R's effectiveness.
Suitable for a quick screening, or follow-up of patients already more fully assessed.
金斯敦标准化认知评估修订版（KSCA-R）旨在成为一种可供未接受过专业认知评估技术培训的健康专业人员使用的认知筛查工具。它的推出是为了弥合简短、聚焦狭窄的评定量表与密集、昂贵的全面神经心理学评估之间的差距。我们现在介绍简短金斯敦标准化认知评估修订版（BriefKSCA-R）。
使用BriefKSCA-R对阿尔茨海默病患者组、患有其他痴呆症的患者组以及一组居住在社区的正常老年人进行评估。
完整的金斯敦标准化认知评估修订版的这个简短版本可以在一半的时间内完成，同时保留了完整KSCA-R的大部分有效性。
适用于快速筛查，或对已经接受更全面评估的患者进行随访。
