Abstract Background In this study, we examined the construct validity, concurrent validity concerning other standard scales, intrarater reliability, and changes in scores at 12 weeks of the previously developed ABC Dementia Scale ABC-DS , a novel assessment tool for Alzheimer's disease AD.
Methods Data were obtained from patients diagnosed with either AD or mild cognitive impairment. Results The 13 items of the ABC-DS are grouped into three domains, and the domain-level scores were highly correlated with the corresponding conventional scales. Conclusion Our results demonstrate the ABC-DS to have good validity and reliability, and its usefulness in busy clinical settings. Keywords: Neuropsychological tests, Activities of daily living, Dementia, Cognition, Cognitive dysfunction.
Open in a separate window. Instruments In the present study, the ABC-DS was assessed for construct and concurrent validity, test and item information, intrarater reliability, and responsiveness to change. Construct Validity The ABC-DS item-level scores were subjected to factor analysis with oblique promax rotation to calculate factor loadings.
Qualitative Assessment of the Item Contents Based on Item Response Theory Item response theory is a statistical approach to develop survey instruments with high reliability [ 13 ]. Intrarater Reliability The ABC-DS was re-administered to participants who visited their clinics or hospitals 1 week after the initial assessment, by the same evaluator who carried out the first assessment.
Statistical Analysis SAS version 9. Results Patients Initially, participants were enrolled in the study. IRCCC, item response category characteristic curve.
Intrarater Reliability Intrarater reliability was confirmed by comparing scores assessed by the same evaluator on two occasions, a week apart. Comparisons: A vs. Table 6 Changes in scores at 12 weeks. Statement of Ethics The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, following the approval from the ethics committee of the Kagawa University School of Medicine.
