One hundred and seven elderly female in-patients with confirmed or suspected diagnoses of dementia were assessed by the Paired-Associate Learning Test (PALT), and the Cognitive Assessment Scale (CAS) and Behaviour Rating Scale (BRS) of CAPE. Eighteen months later, 62 patients were still alive. These had significantly better scores on the 'easy' set of PALT and on BRS than the non-survivors; the differences on the 'mediate' and 'hard' sets, and on CAS, while in the predicted direction, were not significant.
对107名确诊或疑似患有痴呆症的老年女性住院患者进行了配对联想学习测试（PALT）、认知评估量表（CAS）和科恩老年精神病评定量表（CAPE）的行为评定量表（BRS）评估。18个月后，62名患者仍然存活。这些存活患者在PALT的“简单”组和BRS上的得分明显高于未存活患者；在“中等难度”和“困难”组以及CAS上的差异虽符合预期方向，但不显著。
