The study's researchers came up with an ACE score to explain a person's risk for chronic disease. endobj What is an ACE Score? For example, the three-stage-command has been replaced by a short graded test of grammatical comprehension and the overlapping pentagons have been replaced by another drawing. Original ACE study • Vince Felitti, Kaiser • Rob Anda, CDC. The ACE-R[6] was a development of the earlier ACE which also incorporated the MMSE, but had clearly defined subdomain scores. A single point is scored for each one a person has suffered. The memory section is split into five sections scattered throughout the tests.[9]. At the cut-off of 88, Elamin and colleagues[12] found the ACE-III distinguished early-onset dementia from healthy controls with high sensitivity (0.915) and specificity (0.964), and also from subjective memory impairment with high sensitivity (0.915) and specificity (0.867). 0000001412 00000 n

Because language is valuable and important to functioning in society, this section is the longest consisting of seven separate parts.[10]. Language involves ascribing meaning to words and statements so this section consists of simple directions that may involve movements, such as the example of placing the paper on top of the pencil, to see how well they apply meaning. 79 0 obj The M-ACE is scored out of 30, with a higher score indicating better cognitive function, and has two recommended cut-off scores (25 and 21). 0000041472 00000 n

Even a score of 2 or 3 … The ACE-III[7] was developed to improve the performance of certain parts of the test and also to avoid a potential copyright violation by replacing the elements shared with the MMSE.[8]. The results of each activity are scored to give a total score out of 100 (18 points for attention, 26 for memory, 14 for fluency, 26 for language, 16 for visuospatial processing). A higher score indicates a higher risk for health problems later in life. An example is something like "subtract seven from 100 and then continue subtracting seven away from each new number. Attention is tested by asking the patient for the date including the season and the current location; repeating back three simple words; and serial subtraction. The ACE-III and ACE-R were highly correlated (r = 0.99), and at the previously recommended cut-off scores (88 and 82) the ACE-III was both highly sensitive and specific (at 88/100: 1.00 and 0.96 respectively; at 82/100: 0.93 and 1.00 respectively). 0000001349 00000 n

81 0 obj The ACE-III has been validated against standard neuropsychological tests and has been shown to be a valid cognitive screening tool for dementia syndromes. The higher cut-off score has both high specificity and sensitivity and is at least five times more likely to have come from a dementia patient than without. 0000001592 00000 n
Original ACE study • Vince Felitti, Kaiser • Rob Anda, CDC. [17][18], Based on the results of a 2019 Cochrane meta-analysis of available studies the Mini-ACE should only be used as a adjunct to a full clinical assessment and not alone for the screening of dementia or mild cognitive impairment in patients presenting with or at risk for cognitive decline. The Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination [2] was originally developed as a theoretically motivated extension of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)[3] which attempted to address the neuropsychological omissions and improve the screening performance of the latter. [16] It comprises tests of attention, memory (7-item name and address), letter fluency, clock drawing, and memory recall, and takes under five minutes to administer. <>stream
