| Sumario: | Ellen Richards, Olivia Knowles Department of Medicine, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, London, UKCorrespondence: Ellen RichardsDepartment of Medicine, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, London, UKEmail richards@se13.qmul.ac.ukWe read with interest the article by Wang et al, looking into the reliability and diagnostic accuracy of Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III), translated into Chinese, when looking at patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The authors recruited 120 patients with MCI, and 136 healthy controls, and showed a positive correlation between ACE-III results and other common cognitive assessment methods (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)). They also showed ACE-III to have higher diagnostic accuracy in detecting MCI when compared with the MMSE.1 We would like to thank the authors for highlighting the success of the Chinese version of ACE-III in diagnosing MCI and would like to offer some comments regarding their study.View the original paper by Wang and colleagues |
