In Morocco and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), this limitation contributes to the under-recognition and diagnostic inaccuracy of dementia, particularly in communities with limited access to education or healthcare resources. The aim of the study was to develop and validate a culturally adapted, literacy-independent cognitive screening battery, the Jilla Moroccan Dementia Scale (J-MDS), specifically designed for use among adults with limited schooling in Morocco.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The J-MDS comprises 17 entirely oral and pictorial subtests assessing memory, attention, language, executive function, praxis, and orientation. A total of 109 participants were included (54 living with dementia and 55 cognitively healthy controls). Dementia diagnosis was established according to DSM-5 clinical criteria, which served as the gold standard.

Blennow Kaj stood out with publications and citations of 270 and 18,093. The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Neurology were the top-ranked journal, with the highest publications (321) and citations (6,446), respectively. Cluster analysis revealed four major clusters, including mechanisms underlying p-tau in AD, p-tau as biomarker in AD, diagnosis of AD using p-tau, and consensus in AD. Keyword burst analysis emphasized recent terms such as \"neurofilament light,\" \"dysfunction,\" \"performance,\" and \"biomarker.\"</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study systematically analyzed the researches on p-tau in AD. Research hotspots have evolved from the early focus on pathological features to the exploration of biomarkers-based diagnosis. Recently, the comprehensive assessment AD is emphasized, suggesting that future studies should pay more attention to regulatory mechanism of abnormal p-tau for identification of therapeutic targets and overcome the challenges of p-tau as biomarkers during clinical diagnosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":11126,"journal":{"name":"Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders","volume":" ","pages":"289-302"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145563261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
