Popis:	SUMMARY Up to half of all patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) develop either cognitive or behavioral abnormalities during the course of the disease and approximately 15% meet criteria for frontotemporal dementia. The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Cognitive Behavioral Screen™ (ALS CBS™) is the only validated, ALS-specific tool available for screening these patients. The ALS CBS is highly accurate in identifying frontotemporal dementia where it serves to aid formal diagnostic assessment and is particularly valuable in situations where detailed testing is not readily available. In this report, we discuss the development, validation and accuracy of the ALS CBS, review its strengths and weaknesses, discuss other tools in development and consider ideas for future research in diagnostic screening in ALS.
