What is a normal ACE 3 score?

ACE III: This is a much more detailed test, scored out of 100. It has good diagnostic value. A score of less than 82 indicates likely dementia.

Can the ACE-III be used to make a diagnosis of dementia?

Results. The optimal ACE-III cut-off scores to detect MCI and dementia were 88/89 (sensitivity 0.77, specificity 0.92) and 75/76 (sensitivity 0.82, specificity 0.90), respectively. ACE-III was superior to HDS-R and MMSE in the detection of MCI or dementia.

What is normal mini-ACE score?

The total Mini-ACE score is 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive functioning. Administration of the Mini-ACE takes, on average, 5 minutes. It was derived from the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) using a data-driven scaling method. There are 2 cut-offs: 25 and 21.

What does mini-Ace assess?

The Mini-ACE is a brief cognitive screening test that evaluates four main cognitive areas (orientation, memory, language and visuospatial function). The Mini-ACE recommended screening tool for use by primary care and non-specialist dementia services in New Zealand. It replaces the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA©).

What do mini-Ace scores mean?

New Zealand Mini-ACE Administration and Scoring Guide – 2020 The Mini-Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (Mini-ACE) is a very brief and sensitive cognitive screening tool for mild cognitive impairment and dementia. The total Mini-ACE score is 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive functioning.

What is the mini Addenbrooke’s cognitive examination?

The Mini-Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (M-ACE) is a brief cognitive screening test that evaluates four main cognitive domains (orientation, memory, language and visuospatial function) with a maximum score of 30 points and administration time of five minutes.

What do dementia test scores mean?

A score of 20 to 24 suggests mild dementia, 13 to 20 suggests moderate dementia, and less than 12 indicates severe dementia. On average, the MMSE score of a person with Alzheimer’s declines about two to four points each year.

Who can use the ACE-III?

The ACE-III is a cognitive screening tool recommended for use by health practitioners and researchers in patients over 50 years old with suspected dementia.

What is Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination?

Addenbrooke’s cognitive examination III is a screening test that is composed of tests of attention, orientation, memory, language, visual perceptual and visuospatial skills. It is useful in the detection of cognitive impairment, especially in the detection of Alzheimer’s disease and fronto-temporal dementia.

What is Addenbrooke ACE-R test?

Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) ACE-R is a brief battery that provides evaluation of six cognitive domains (orientation, attention, memory, verbal fluency, language and visuospatial ability) (Mioshi et al., 2006).

What are the five cognitive domains in the ACE III?

As previously described, the ACE-III is composed of five cognitive domains, attention, memory, language, verbal fluency, and visuospatial abilities. The ACE-III takes ~20 minutes to complete (Table 1).

Is the ACE-III a useful screening test for early-stage dementia?

Conclusion The ACE-III is a screening technique that is capable of differentiating patients with and without cognitive impairment and is sensitive to the early stages of dementia.
