Abstract

Abstract : Cognitive screening instruments are frequently used in the assessment of patients presenting with symptoms of dementia or cognitive impairment. Various test accuracy metrics have been defined for such instruments. This article describes a study in which metrics originally developed in weather forecasting, namely the critical success index and the equitable threat score, were applied to cognitive screening test accuracy studies.
