Performance of a Short Version of the Everyday Cognition Scale (ECog-12) to Detect Cognitive Impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Everyday Cognition (ECog) 12-item scale, a functional decline measurement, can distinguish dementia from cognitively unimpaired (CU). Limited data compare ECog-12 performance by raters (self vs. informant) and scoring systems (average numeric vs. categorical grouping) to differentiate cognitive statuses.

Objectives

To evaluate the performance of ECog-12 in differentiation cognitive statuses.

Design

A cross-sectional diagnostic test study.

Setting and participants

Data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study are analyzed. Participants were aged 55-90 years old divided into subgroups based on diagnostic criteria.

Measurements

We evaluated ECog-12 performance across different diagnostic groups, such as CU vs cognitiv
