The PSACA test: A new cognitive assessment tool for detection of post-stroke dementia in a sample of older Egyptians
Background
Post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia are major public health problems.
Objectives
Construction of a cognitive assessment tool applicable to post-stroke dementia detection in the older population and suitable for both illiterate and educated Egyptians.
Methods
The new post-stroke Ain-Shams cognitive assessment (PSACA) test was scored out of 69 points. The validity and reliability of the PSACA test were assessed on a pilot sample of 30 older participants, comparing the test with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) test. Then a cross-sectional study for the detection of dementia was conducted recruiting 120 Egyptian older post-stroke participants aged 60 years and over, from Ain-Shams University Hospital clinics.
Results
The mean age of the participants was 69.17 (± 8.03). The test proved valid and reliable (Cronbach's Alpha was 0.72). The cutoff point of the PSACA test for post-stroke dementia diagnosis was ≤ 54.5, with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 78.7%.
Conclusion
The PSACA test is a valid and reliable test that can be administered to detect post-stroke dementia.
