Is the Clock Drawing Test Appropriate for Screening for Mild Cognitive Impairment? - Results of the German Study on Ageing, Cognition and Dementia in Primary Care Patients (AgeCoDe)
Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 11/02/09

Ehreke L et al. – Significant differences were found for the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) results: MCI patients obtained worse results than cognitively unimpaired subjects.

CDT does not achieve the quality to screen individuals for MCI.
