随着阿尔茨海默病本身的证据越来越多，患者和家庭对阿尔茨海默病的恐惧也沿着增长。这项研究（N = 312）的有效性的时钟画测试在筛选可能患有阿尔茨海默病的患者进行了积极的门诊老年诊所。精神状态正常或抑郁症患者的时钟绘画基本正常。阿尔茨海默氏症患者无法完成正常的生物钟，并表现出五种典型的异常模式。作为阿尔茨海默病的测试，画时钟的敏感性为86.7%，特异性为92.7%。97.2%的正常人识别正确。这些研究结果表明，时钟画测试，一个容易管理，低成本的筛选工具，可以是有用的医疗保健专业人员在一般老年门诊人群的认知功能丧失的特征。
The fear of Alzheimer''s disease for both patients and families is growing along with the increasing evidence of the disease itself. This study (N = 312) of the validity of the clock drawing test in screening patients with probable Alzheimer''s disease was conducted in an active outpatients geriatric clinic. Clock drawings by patients with normal mental status or depression were essentially normal. Alzheimer''s patients were unable to complete a normal clock and demonstrated five characteristically abnormal patterns. As a test for Alzheimer''s disease, clock drawing had a sensitivity of 86.7% and a specificity of 92.7%. There was correct identification in 97.2% of normals. These findings indicate that the clock drawing test, an easily administered, low cost screening tool, can be useful to health care professionals in characterizing cognitive loss in a general geriatric clinic population.
