✦ Synopsis

In spite of the fact that demographic trends show an increase in the number of elderly persons, and hence more diagnosed as suffering from senile dementia, the cognitive assessment of the organically brain damaged elderly person still too often depends on the use of brief and incomplete rating scales, and is thus often poorly performed. The simple dementia rating scales in current use may fail to provide the range or depth needed for an adequate evaluation of the individual patient. The Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment is offered as an improved method of assessment. This instrument is described here in terms of its structure, function, statistical properties and normative data. We also provide examples of its clinical use. KEY woms-Senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive assessment, assessment of dementia, geriatric rating scale, psychopathology rating scale.
