Clinical Validation and Standardization of the Brain Health Assessment in the Tablet‐Based Cognitive Assessment Tool (BHA‐TabCAT) in Peruvian Older Adults
The BHA-TabCAT shows better performance than the MMSE and RUDAS in detecting cognitive decline, especially when its scoring and interpretation consider relevant covariates such as years of education, age, place of residence, and gender. This provides improved opportunities to accurately identify the preclinical and prodromal stages of cognitive decline in both urban and rural contexts in Peru.
