Does A Cognitive Dementia/mci Test With 100 Percent Specificity Mean
Question: Does a cognitive dementia/mci test with 100 percent specificity mean that anyone who scores below the cutoff has dementia?
Brief Answer:
The test scores explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
A score of dementia of 100% (or 30 points) means that there is no dementia or MCI.
A score of 24 suggests mild dementia, 13 to 20 suggests moderate dementia, and less than 12 indicates severe dementia.
The interval 24-29 points are considered a grey zone and follow up is necessary.
Hope I answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
