Utility of the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III online calculator to differentiate the primary progressive aphasia variants.

ABSTRACT: The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III is a brief cognitive screening tool that is widely used for the detection and monitoring of dementia. Recent findings suggest that the three variants of primary progressive aphasia can be distinguished based on their distinct profiles on the five subdomain scores of this test. Here, we investigated the utility of the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III to differentiate the primary progressive aphasia variants based on their item-by-item performance profiles on this test. From these results, we created an interactive primary progressive aphasia Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III calculator which predicts the variant based on a patient's unique item-by-item profile. Twenty-eight logopenic variant, 25 non-fluent variant and 37 semantic vari
