The Community General Practitioner and General Specialist‐based Cognitive Screening to Identify Early Decline in Seniors in Germany Study (COGSCREEN 2)

Currently, there is no system in place for targeted, standardized identification of cases with minimal cognitive decline in Germany or worldwide, hindering efforts to detect neurodegenerative and other causes of cognitive impairment in large segments of the population. The lack of a robust approach for detecting early changes with acceptable accuracy outside of specialist clinics results in disappointingly low diagnostic rates. The COGSCREEN 2 study will help to establish an effective and efficient early diagnosis framework, embedded in a global network of DAC sites.
