| AB: | Presents population-based age and education specific reference values for the cognitive test section of the SIDAM based on a current, comprehensible and international accepted educational classification (newCasmin; Brauns & Steinmann, 1999). The SIDAM (Structured Interview for the Diagnosis of Dementia of Alzheimer type, Multi-infarct Dementia and Dementia of other Etiology according to DSM-III-R, DSM-IV and ICD-10) is a diagnostic interview for the diagnosis and screening of dementia and mild cognitive impairment. Age and education specific reference values for the cognitive test section are essential, but largely depend on the underlying educational classification. In order to differentiate between demented and nondemented subjects, cut-off values of the total SIDAM-score were stated. Calculated statistical values of the SIDAM-subscales enable the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment according to recent consensus criteria (Winblad et al., 2004).; Mit dem SIDAM (Strukturiertes Interview für die Diagnose einer Demenz vom Alzheimer Typ, der Multiinfarkt-Demenz und Demenzen anderer Ätiologie nach DSM-III-R, DSM-IV und ICD-10) liegt ein standardisiertes Interview vor, welches Screening und Diagnose von Demenzen und leichten kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen ermöglicht. Alters- und bildungsspezifische Normen für den kognitiven Leistungsteil sind dabei unerlässlich, ihrerseits jedoch stark von der zugrunde liegenden Bildungsklassifikation abhängig. In der vorliegenden Arbeit, die auf den Daten von insgesamt 1024 über 75-jährigen Teilnehmern einer epidemiologischen Studie beruht, werden bevölkerungsrepräsentative alters- und bildungsspezifische Normen des kognitiven SIDAM-Leistungsteiles auf der Grundlage einer aktuellen, nachvollziehbaren und international anerkannten Bildungsklassifikation (CASMIN) vorgelegt. Für die Trennung dementer von nichtdementen Personen werden Cut-off-Werte des SIDAM-Gesamtscores vorgeschlagen. Ermittelte statistische Kennwerte der einzelnen SIDAM-Subskalen ermöglichen zudem die Diagnose leichter kognitiver Beeinträchtigungen nach neuen Konsensuskriterien.; Journal; I.W. - ZPID |
