Abstract

Cognitive screening instruments are used daily in clinics devoted to the assessment of cognitive disorders and also in general neurology clinics where patients with complaints of memory disorder may be encountered. However, these instruments have significant theoretical and practical shortcomings that are generally overlooked or ignored. In pursuit of biological rather than nosological diagnosis, and in light of these shortcomings, I recommend that cognitive screening instruments should now be abandoned.

认知筛查工具：该退休了。

认知筛查工具每天都被用于专门评估认知障碍的诊所，以及可能遇到主诉记忆障碍患者的普通神经病学诊所。然而，这些工具在理论和实践上都有很大的缺陷，而这些缺陷通常被忽视或忽略。为了追求生物学诊断而非命名学诊断，鉴于这些缺陷，我建议现在应放弃认知筛查工具。

期刊介绍： The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
