对50例拟行神经心理学评估的患者进行了痴呆评定量表（DRS）与简易精神状态检查量表（MMSE）的相关性研究。这两种检验之间的相关性中等偏高（rho = .72; Pearson r = .78），支持先前的发现。线性回归分析得出的方程可以预测一个测试到另一个测试的分数。年龄和教育程度与这两项测试均无显著相关性。对5个DRS分量表和11个MMSE项目的检查发现了一些意想不到的关系。这些结果表明，这两个认知筛选工具评估一些重叠的心理能力，但是，个别项目和分量表的有效性没有得到很好的支持。
The relationship between the Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was examined in 50 patients referred for neuropsychological assessment. The correlation between these two tests was moderately high (rho = .72; Pearson r = .78), supporting previous findings. Linear regression analysis yielded equations that allow prediction of scores from one test to the other. Neither age nor education correlated significantly with these two tests. Examination of the five DRS subscales and the eleven MMSE items revealed some unexpected relationships. These results suggest that these two cognitive screening instruments evaluate some overlapping mental abilities; however, the validity of the individual items and subscales is not well supported.
