The study aimed to evaluate the Cognitive Assessment Battery (CAB) in a specialist clinic setting in order to find out if it if it could be a supplement to the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and distinguish between normal aging, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, as well as MCI of different severities.
CAB consists of six short tests covering the cognitive domains of speed/attention, episodic memory, visuospatial functions, language and executive functions. It takes about 20 minutes to carry out and provides a quick overview of the patient's cognitive profile. Three groups were compared: healthy controls (N = 41), MCI (N = 83) and mild dementia (N = 28).
CAB distinguished very clearly between controls and MCI as well as MCI and dementia. On further analysis CAB also distinguished between MCI of different severities. It also showed to have good sensitivity and specificity for identifying more severe MCI.
CAB seems to be a useful supplement to MMSE and a screening instrument for MCI and dementia with good sensitivity and specificity.
本研究旨在评估认知评估电池（CAB）在专科诊所环境中的应用，以确定其是否可以作为简易精神状态检查（MMSE）的补充，以及是否可以区分正常衰老、轻度认知障碍（MCI）和痴呆，以及不同严重程度的 MCI。
CAB 由六个涵盖速度/注意力、情景记忆、视空间功能、语言和执行功能等认知领域的简短测试组成。大约需要 20 分钟的时间进行，并且可以快速了解患者的认知概况。比较了三组：健康对照组（N = 41）、MCI（N = 83）和轻度痴呆组（N = 28）。
CAB 非常清楚地区分了对照组和 MCI，以及 MCI 和痴呆。进一步分析表明，CAB 还可以区分不同严重程度的 MCI。它还表现出了良好的敏感性和特异性，能够识别更严重的 MCI。
CAB 似乎是 MMSE 的有用补充，也是 MCI 和痴呆的筛查工具，具有良好的敏感性和特异性。
