1 Continuing Medical Education 180 Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument, Chinese Version 2.0 (CASI C-2.0): Administration and Clinical Application Ker-Neng Lin 1,2, Pei-Ning Wang 1,3, Hsiu-Chih Liu 1,3, Evelyn L. Teng 4 Abstract- The Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) has been commonly used in dementia research and clinical practice to evaluate a subject s cognitive abilities and to follow-up possible progression of dementia. It has a detailed manual for test administration and scoring in order to minimize testing errors. The Chinese version of CASI (CASI C-2.0) has been used in many clinical and epidemiological studies in Taiwan. Since cognitive abilities are influenced by education, and there are high rates of illiterate or loweducation individuals among the elderly in Taiwan, the normative data of CASI, including its total score and its cognitive domain scores, should be divided into different education ranges. In clinical practice, the cut-off scores in differentiating between dementia and normal are suggested to be: 49/50 for Education year = 0; 67/68 for Education years = 1-5; and 79/80 for Education years 6. Key Words: CASI, dementia, cognitive function, norm, cutoff score From the 1 Department of Neurology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, 2 Department of Psychology, Soochow University, 3 Department of Neurology, National Yang-Ming University School of Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, and 4 Department of Neurology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90033, USA Received August 8, Revised October 4, Accepted November 9, Correspondence to: Ker-Neng Lin, Ph.D. Department of Neurology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, No. 201, Sec. 2, Shih-Pai Rd., Taipei, 11216, Taiwan (R.O.C.) knlin@vghtpe.gov.tw
