爱丁堡认知和行为肌萎缩侧索硬化症筛查(ECAS)用于评估肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)患者的认知和行为。肌萎缩侧索硬化症特有的和非肌萎缩侧索硬化症特有的功能的认知损害可以用基于健康受试者的表现的分界值来确定。然而，详细的分析表明，年龄较大的健康受试者的表现比年轻的受试者差，而受过高等教育的人表现得比受教育程度较低的人更好。因此，这项研究基于86名健康受试者的表现，提出了修订的德语/瑞士-德语版ECAS的新年龄和教育程度匹配的分界点分数。
The Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS) has been developed to assess cognition and behaviour in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cognitive impairments of ALS-specific and ALS-non-specific functions can be determined using cut-off scores based on performance of healthy subjects. However, detailed analyses show that older healthy subjects perform worse than younger ones, whereas highly-educated individuals perform better than those with lower education levels. As a consequence, this study presents new age and education matched cut-off scores for the revised German/Swiss-German version of the ECAS based on the performance of 86 healthy subjects.
