Test-retest reliability for the dichotic digits test was measured in 10 subjects diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease and a control group of 10 subjects with no evidence of dementia, matched for age, gender and average degree of hearing loss. Although initial scores among the Alzheimer group were more variable, test-retest reliability over a month period was reasonably high for both subject groups. Results are in agreement with previous reports on dichotic digits showing good sensitivity, ease in administration and time efficiency. Use of the dichotic digits test for screening of central auditory function in the Alzheimer population is supported.
在10名被诊断为轻度至中度阿尔茨海默病的受试者以及10名无痴呆证据的对照组受试者(按年龄、性别和平均听力损失程度匹配)中测量了双耳数字试验的重测信度。尽管阿尔茨海默病组的初始分数更具变异性,但两个受试者组在一个月期间的重测信度都相当高。结果与先前关于双耳数字试验的报告一致,显示出良好的敏感性、易于实施和时间效率。支持使用双耳数字试验对阿尔茨海默病患者群体的中枢听觉功能进行筛查。
