The Dementia Severity Rating Scale (DSRS) is an informant-based, multiple-choice questionnaire that assesses severity from the mildest to the most severe stages in the major functional and cognitive domains affected in Alzheimer disease (AD). The DSRS has good reliability as measured by making repeated observations over short time periods and by comparing caregiver responses to information collected by a physician or an experienced nonphysician research associate. The measure correlates favorably with the Washington University Clinical Dementia Rating scale and with standard cognitive testing measures. The DSRS provides a simple, valid, and sensitive measure of impairment associated with AD. It is ideally suited for multisite collaborative studies and can be implemented with a minimum of staff time and training.
痴呆严重程度评定量表（DSRS）是一种基于知情者的多项选择题问卷，用于评估阿尔茨海默病（AD）所影响的主要功能和认知领域中从最轻度到最重度阶段的严重程度。通过在短时间内进行重复观察，并将照顾者的回答与医生或经验丰富的非医生研究助理收集的信息进行比较，DSRS具有良好的可靠性。该测量方法与华盛顿大学临床痴呆评定量表以及标准认知测试方法具有良好的相关性。DSRS提供了一种简单、有效且敏感的AD相关损伤测量方法。它非常适合多中心合作研究，并且可以在最少的工作人员时间和培训的情况下实施。
