The concepts for this are:
A Specific neuropsychological tests
B General terms (both free text and MeSH) for tests/testing/screening
C Outcome: dementia diagnosis (unfocused MeSH with diagnostic sub‐headings)
D Condition of interest: Dementia (general dementia terms both free text and MeSH – exploded and unfocused)
E Methodological filter: not used to limit all search
The concept combinations are:
1. (A OR B) AND C
2. (A OR B) AND D AND E
