Dementia screening of geriatric patients by implementing an informant-based Alzheimers disease eight-item tool in KSA

摘要

The screening of dementia among geriatrics is necessary to identify probable cases, confirm diagnosis, institute treatment, and plan for future family caregiving strategies. This study aimed to screen the incidence of dementia among geriatric patients using the informant-based Alzheimer's disease eight-item tool for dementia (AD8) in a KSA region.
