Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Self-screening of Cognitive Impairment in Primary Care: a Comparative Study Between a Test Based on SAGE at Home and MMSE at Doctor's Office in Picardie

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

According to 2011 HAS recommendations, early detection of Alzheimer disease is the major objective in order to allow an earlier care and support. These recommendations strengthen general practitioner role, who plays a key role in the identification of cognitively impaired patients. HAS recommendations are the use of MMSE like test (Mini Mental State Examination) at general practitioner office. A self-screening test, without medical presence, would allow a self-administered cognitive assessment by the patient. A review of the literature about self-administered cognitive tests has been realized. The Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE) has been chosen. It is a brief, valid and reliable cognitive assessment tool, rated on 22 points, which allows an early detection of cognitive impairment, with a sensitivity close to the MMSE test. Nevertheless, SAGE has never been tested at home without medical supervision. In this study, the investigators will determine if SAGE scores at home correlates with MMSE scores at general practitioner office.

Patients with inclusion criteria will be recruited during the general practitioner consultation and will have a clinical assessment included MMSE and clinical data collection. Then, SAGE will be given to the patient in order to be completed at home without medical supervision and send to the general practitioner.
