Pilot Evaluation of the Informant AD8 as a Case-Finding Instrument for Cognitive Impairment in General Practitioner Clinics of Singapore: A Brief Report.

Background: Case-finding services using a composite total risk score (TRS) and the informant AD8 have been previously recommended to detect cognitive impairment (CI) in government subsidized primary health care centers of Singapore (ie, polyclinics).

Objective: We compared the feasibility of implementing the services recommended for government-subsidized primary health care in private, primary health care service providers such as general practitioner (GP) clinics.

Method: 123 patients ≥60 years of age were recruited from 2 GP clinics within Singapore.
