Screening for Cognitive Impairment in the Emergency Department: Agreement between Older Adult Patient- and Informant-Completed Ascertain Dementia 8 Tool
When seeking emergency care, one in four older adults without a diagnosis of dementia and approximately 20% of informants indicated that patients were cognitively impaired. Our finding of moderate agreement between the pAD8 and iAD8 has important implications for clinicians providing care to patients with suspected CI and investigators conducting dementia-related studies.
