The scores on the ABC-DS and standard scales were compared., Results: The 13 items of the ABC-DS are grouped into three domains, and the domain-level scores were highly correlated with the corresponding conventional scales. Statistically significant changes in assessment scores after 12 weeks were observed for the total ABC-DS scores., Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the ABC-DS to have good validity and reliability, and its usefulness in busy clinical settings.}, school = {香川大学, Kagawa University}, title = {ABC Dementia Scale : A Quick Assessment Tool for Determining Alzheimer,s Disease Severity}, year = {}, yomi = {モリ, タカヒロ} }
