--"Cognitive Assessment Test ¿ CATest: Validation of a short cognitive test to detection of Mild Cognitive Disorder"
Resumen
--Abstract Introduction: Cognitive disorders are a clinical and research challenge, especially the Mild Cognitive Disorder (MiCD) requires diagnostic suspicion and tools with adequate performance for its detection. The objective of this study was the validation of a short cognitive test (CATest) for the detection of MiCD in population of 50 years or more. Methods: A diagnostic accuracy study was assembled and performed in a prospective cohort. A consecutive sample of 200 Colombian subjects who represented the whole spectrum of the condition of interest, allowed to reach the objective. Validity was determined by concurrent criteria. The cut points were determined by the ROC curves considering the best overall performance and accuracy of the test. Results: CATest was validated to detection of MiCD at a cut-off point of 18. As a result, scores lower than 18 classified the participants as MiCD. At this cut off point, CATest showed sensitivity of 84.3% (CI 76 to 90.16), specificity of 71.4
