Description
Anna Higbie and co-authors compare patients who fail a mind screen with those who near fail in a 2024 study. Front line clinics use short screens to spot thinking flaws in older adults. Set cut points mark who needs more checks.
The team re-read data from a large trial of care for Alzheimer disease. Forty four patients failed by the set points, and ninety four scored just one point shy. The near fail group had more school years and more daily face to face contact. Two years on, rates of mild thinking loss and dementia were much the same in both groups. Near fails may merit the same watch as fails.
