Conclusions: The brief computerized battery should be used in conjunction with standard tests such as the MoCA in order to differentiate cognitively intact from cognitively impaired older adults.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:249 –256 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Clinical Spectrum, Risk Factors, and Behavioral Abnormalities among Dementia Subtypes in a North Indian Population: A Hospital-Based Study
Conclusions: This large hospital-based study provides a distribution pattern and clinical spectrum of dementia subtypes in a North Indian population.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:257 –273 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Comparison of Central, Ambulatory, Home and Office Blood Pressure Measurement as Risk Markers for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Hypertensive Patients
Conclusions: The correlation of central BP with target organ damage (MCI) is as good as for the other types of measurements of BP (home and ambulatory). Office BP seems to be the poorest marker for the assessment of target organ damage.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:274 –282 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Cognitive Deficits in Chronic Stroke Patients: Neuropsychological Assessment, Depression, and Self-Reports
Conclusion: Cognitive impairment occurs frequently even in patients in a chronic phase after stroke and predicts symptoms of depression. Using the Stroke Impact Scale, clinicians should be aware of low sensitivity of self-reported cognitive function.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:283 –296 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Influence of Mild Cognitive Impairment, Depression, and Anxiety on the Quality of Life of Patients with Parkinson Disease
Conclusions: MCI, anxiety, depression, and age decrease QoL in patients with PD. NPS has the main influence in the prediction of QoL in patients with PD, whereas MCI is only of minor importance.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:297 –308 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Montreal Cognitive Assessment in a 63- to 65-year-old Norwegian Cohort from the General Population: Data from the Akershus Cardiac Examination 1950 Study
Conclusions: Approximately 50% scored below the cut-off score of 26 points, suggesting that the cut-off score may have been set too high to distinguish normal cognitive function from MCI. Educational level had a significant impact on MoCA scores.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:318 –327 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

The Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL): A Brief, Reliable, and Valid Tool for Capturing Interindividual Differences in Cognitive Functioning in Epidemiological and Aging Studies
Conclusion: The present analyses suggest COGTEL as a brief, reliable, and valid instrument for capturing interindividual differences in cognitive functioning in epidemiological and aging studies, with the advantage of covering more cognitive domains than traditional screening tools such as the MMSE, as well as differentiating between individual performance levels, in healthy older adults.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:339 –345 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Dementia and Hospital Readmission Rates: A Systematic Review
We examined articles in English, with no restrictions on publication dates, from Medline, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and EMBASE. Keywords used weredementia,Alzheimer disease,frontotemporal lobar degeneration,elderly,frontotemporal dementia,executive function,brain atrophy,frontal lobe atrophy,cognitive impairment,readmission,readmit,rehospitalization,patient discharge, andreturn visit. Of 404 abstracts identified, 77 articles were retrieved; 12 were included. Four of 5 cohort studies showed significantly increased readmission rates in patients with dementia. On average the absolute increase above the comparison groups was f...
