- Practical text for clinicians involved in patient assessment for
dementia diagnosis

and report a diagnostic test accuracy study in patients with possible
cognitive impairment
- Describes how to formulate the study question
- Explains how to select study participants and operationalise test

- Covers the rudiments of statistics required for study analysis
This book explains the key steps in planning and executing diagnostic test accuracy
studies in dementia, with clear explanations of difficulties and pitfalls, and with jargon
clearly explained. The emphasis is on pragmatic diagnostic test accuracy studies which
can be integrated into day-to-day clinical practice. The book is based on the author’s
experience over more than 10 years, which has resulted in the publication of many
diagnostic test accuracy studies.
The text is structured as for a research publication on a diagnostic test accuracy study
(Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion), with a final chapter on Future Prospects. Each
of the chapters is devoted to a practical and structured overview of each of these steps in
performing and writing up such a study.
Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies in Dementia: A Pragmatic Approach is aimed at any
clinician with an interest in dementia disorders: old age psychiatrists, geriatricians,
neurologists, neuropsychologists and primary care physicians, as well as other professions
allied to medicine. The book is also of interest to any clinician/researcher with an interest
in diagnostic test accuracy studies.
