Popis: Identifying patients at higher risk of developing dementia is important. The usefulness of the Mattis Dementia Rating scale-Second Edition (MDRS-2) to detect and differentiate between patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (A-MCI), Parkinson’s disease and MCI (PD-MCI), PD with dementia (PDD), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was investigated. In all, 22 healthy controls (HC), 22 A-MCI, 22 PD-MCI, 16 PDD, and 22 AD patients were evaluated using an extensive neuropsychological battery, including the MDRS-2. The MDRS-2 total standardized score detected all groups of patients. The dementia groups performed worse than HC on the 5 MDRS-2 subscales. Alzheimer’s disease patients scored higher than PDD on MDRS-2 conceptualization and lower on memory. Healthy controls were better than PD-MCI on MDRS-2 initiation/perseveration and memory and better than A-MCI on memory. No difference was found between the MCI groups. The MDRS-2 is a suitable short scale for MCI and dementia screening but is not specific enough to differentiate between A-MCI and PD-MCI.
