The set-test evaluates the verbal fluency in 4 categories: colors, animals, fruits and cities. It has been proposed as a diagnostic aid in dementia in elderly patients. Therefore, we have evaluated its yield in a normative control reference group of 79 individuals and in 56 patients with possible dementia. It had a positive correlation of 73 with minimental test. The cut-off value was 29 in adults an 27 in elderly people. A lower score is indicative of dementia. Sensitivity was 79% and specificity 82%, with 20% of incorrectly classified patients. Considering the short duration of the test, we think that it is very useful for the evaluation of patients with dementia.
颜色、动物、水果和城市。它已被提议作为老年痴呆患者诊断的辅助手段。因此，我们在79名个体的正常对照参考组和56名可能患有痴呆症的患者中评估了它的效用。它与简易精神状态检查的正相关系数为73。成年人的临界值为29，老年人为27。得分较低表明患有痴呆症。敏感性为79%，特异性为82%，有20%的患者分类错误。考虑到测试时间短，我们认为它对痴呆症患者的评估非常有用。
