The ability to predict cognitive deterioration in patients with dementia holds valuable potential for clinical trials and early intervention. This study identified cognitive domains deteriorating differentially over time as well as baseline predictors of subsequent cognitive decline in patients referred to a memory clinic. Twenty-six subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 43 subjects with Subjective Memory Impairment (SMI) were entered into a longitudinal study in which cognitive function…

Changes in visual memory in mild cognitive impairment: a longitudinal study with CANTAB
TLDR
Decline in visual memory measured by PAL and DMS tests can successfully distinguish different types of MCI, and considered together PAL, DMS, PRM and SSP can predict changes in cognitive status.
Vascular Risk as a Predictor of Cognitive Decline in a Cohort of Elderly Patients with Mild to Moderate Dementia
TLDR
A trend was found towards steeper cognitive decline in patients with less vascular burden and worse caregiver burden according to the Burden Interview Scale score at baseline, which is similar to that found in elderly patients with mild to moderate dementia.
Adding delayed recall to the ADAS-cog improves measurement precision in mild Alzheimer's disease: Implications for predicting instrumental activities of daily living.
TLDR
A delayed recall subtest for the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive slightly improved the ADAS-cog's measurement precision in the mild range of cognitive dysfunction and increased prediction of instrumental activities of daily living for individuals with subjective memory impairment.
A brief neuropsychological battery for use in the chronic heart failure population
Reduced FDG-PET brain metabolism and executive function predict clinical progression in elderly healthy subjects☆☆☆
Sensor-based systems for early detection of dementia (SENDA): a study protocol for a prospective cohort sequential study
TLDR
This study aims to detect possible motor, sensory, neurophysiological, and cognitive predictors to develop an early screening tool for dementia and its pre-stages in OA so that affected persons could receive optimal health care at an earlier time point to maintain their health resources.
The Paired Associates Learning (PAL) Test: 30 Years of CANTAB Translational Neuroscience from Laboratory to Bedside in Dementia Research.
TLDR
It is shown how the CANTAB PAL has bridged a second translational 'gap' through its application to the early detection of memory problems in primary care clinics, using iPad technology.
On Colour, Category Effects, and Alzheimer's Disease: A Critical Review of Studies and Further Longitudinal Evidence
TLDR
A critical review of previous studies showed that colour slightly favoured processing of items with higher colour diagnosticity in both groups, providing better support to the view that colour is effective at the visual rather than at the semantic level of object processing.
Physical exercise for prevention of dementia (EPD) study: background, design and methods
TLDR
This trial is the first trial to examine the effects of a long exercise program (48 months) on cognitive performances and may provide evidence for using long-term and multimodal exercise interventions for dementia prevention programs in the aging population.
Do the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery episodic memory measures discriminate amnestic mild cognitive impairment?
TLDR
The current study attempted to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of three visual episodic memory tests from the CANTAB in differentiating aMCI patients from control healthy participants.

Mild cognitive impairment: clinical characterization and outcome.
TLDR
Patients who meet the criteria for MCI can be differentiated from healthy control subjects and those with very mild AD, and appear to constitute a clinical entity that can be characterized for treatment interventions.
Detecting Dementia: Novel Neuropsychological Markers of Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease
TLDR
Diagnostic outcome data is reported and a simple algorithm is described for calculating, with 100% accuracy for this sample of 40 patients, the probability that an individual with mild memory impairments will go on to receive a diagnosis of probable AD.
Evolution of Cognitive Deficits and Conversion to Dementia in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Very-Long-Term Follow-Up Study
TLDR
Dementia may take many years to develop in patients with MCI but was a universal feature in this study and is discussed in the light of current views of MCI.
Paired associate performance in the early detection of DAT
TLDR
Performance on the CANTAB paired associate learning subtest identified the onset of progressive memory deterioration in a subgroup of QD subjects, and may be a valuable tool for the early, preclinical detection and assessment of DAT.
Early Detection and Differential Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease and Depression with Neuropsychological Tasks
TLDR
A visuo-spatial associative learning test accurately distinguished AD from depressed/control subjects and revealed an apparent sub-group of QD patients who performed like AD patients, correlated with the degree of subsequent global cognitive decline.
Is semantic memory consistently impaired early in the course of Alzheimer's disease? Neuroanatomical and diagnostic implications
A comparative study of visuospatial memory and learning in Alzheimer-type dementia and Parkinson's disease.
TLDR
The utility of the comparison between DAT and PD in characterizing the nature of the cognitive deficits in these conditions and their relation to those findings from animal neuropsychology which use comparable paradigms are discussed.
Dropouts and refusals in observational studies
TLDR
Observations suggest that dropouts and refusals in prevention trials include those subjects who are at high risk for progression to AD/dementia and targeted strategies to retain these individuals within prevention studies will be needed to achieve sufficient study power and validity.
Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: Report of the NINCDS—ADRDA Work Group under the auspices of Department of Health and Human Services Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease
TLDR
The criteria proposed are intended to serve as a guide for the diagnosis of probable, possible, and definite Alzheimer’s disease; these criteria will be revised as more definitive information becomes available.
Predictive Factors of Attrition in a Cohort of Alzheimer Disease Patients
TLDR
The identification of both patient and caregiver factors predictive of attrition is of particular interest for the development and targeting of attrition prevention strategies in patients with chronic diseases, and particular attention should be paid to caregiver well-being to limit attrition.
