Effects of Norming Strategy and Age and Education-Adjustment on the Sensitivity and Specificity of the pFCSRT+IR and LM for Future Dementia.

Conventional Normative Sample
pFCSRT+IR (mean=30.2, SD=6.4, range=9−45, cut-score= 20.6)
LM (mean=19.8, SD=7.5, range=1−39, cut-score=8.6)
Incident cases identified out of 78 Sensitivity Specificity
Unadjusted cut-sore pFCSRT+IR 27 34.6 97.9
Adjusted cut-score pFCSRT+IR 25 32.0 97.1
Unadjusted cut-score LM 15 19.2 95.9
Adjusted cut-score LM 14 18.0 96.5
Robust Normative Sample
pFCSRT+IR (mean=31.9, SD=5.1, range=14–45, cut score=24.3)
LM (mean=21.1, SD=7.2, range=1–39, cut score=10.3)
Incident cases identified out of 78 Sensitivity Specificity
Unadjusted cut-sore pFCSRT+IR 45 57.7 92.4
Adjusted cut-score pFCSRT+IR 40 51.3 92.7
Unadjusted cut-score LM 25 32.0 92.7
Adjusted cut-score LM 21 26.9 92.4
