INTRODUCTION
This study aimed to examine the validity and internal consistency of Arabic versions of the eight-item Alzheimer's Dementia, Alzheimer Questionnaire, and Clinical Dementia Rating scales and to assess the Arabic version of Katz Activities of Daily Living, and Neuropsychiatric Inventory.
METHODS
One hundred fifty participants were recruited from different settings; they underwent clinical interviews and filled the aforementioned scales.
RESULTS
In our sample, 56.8% of the sample suffered from dementia. The Arabic eight-item Alzheimer's Dementia had excellent psychometric properties, and the Arabic Alzheimer Questionnaire showed near-perfect properties with sensitivity and specificity reaching 100%. In addition, the Arabic Clinical Dementia Rating (A-CDR)-sum of boxes was superior to the regular A-CDR score in detecting dementia cases among the study sample. The A-CDR showed similar characteristics as the original version. The Katz scores demonstrated a strong negative correlation with eight-item Alzheimer's Dementia scores.
CONCLUSION
Based on this study, health professionals now have reliable and validated tools to be used in clinical and research settings among Arabic-speaking populations.
引言
本研究旨在检验八项阿尔茨海默病痴呆量表、阿尔茨海默病问卷和临床痴呆评定量表阿拉伯语版本的效度和内部一致性，并评估阿拉伯语版的卡茨日常生活活动量表和神经精神科问卷。
方法
从不同环境中招募了150名参与者；他们接受了临床访谈并填写了上述量表。
结果
在我们的样本中，56.8%的样本患有痴呆症。阿拉伯语八项阿尔茨海默病痴呆量表具有出色的心理测量特性，阿拉伯语阿尔茨海默病问卷显示出近乎完美的特性，敏感性和特异性达到100%。此外，阿拉伯语临床痴呆评定量表（A-CDR）-方框总和在研究样本中检测痴呆病例方面优于常规A-CDR评分。A-CDR显示出与原始版本相似的特征。卡茨评分与八项阿尔茨海默病痴呆量表评分呈强烈负相关。
结论
基于本研究，卫生专业人员现在拥有了可靠且经过验证的工具，可用于讲阿拉伯语人群的临床和研究环境。
