一个26项的知情人问卷（IQCODE）和简易精神状态检查（MMSE）进行了比较，作为筛选测试的痴呆症的样本中的69例。痴呆症的诊断是由临床医生和研究访谈使用计算机算法，以满足DSM-III-R和ICD-10（草案）标准。IQCODE在所有诊断中的表现至少与MMSE一样好，在与算法ICD-10诊断进行判断时，IQCODE的表现明显更好。此外，IQCODE被发现是未污染的疾病前的能力，从全国成人阅读测试估计，并有非常高的测试后，一天或更长的延迟重测信度。
A 26-item informant questionnaire (IQCODE) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were compared as screening tests for dementia in a sample of 69 patients. Dementia diagnoses were made by both a clinician and a research interview using a computer algorithm to meet DSM-III-R and ICD-10 (Draft) criteria. The IQCODE was found to perform at least as well as the MMSE against all diagnoses and significantly better when judged against the algorithmic ICD-10 diagnoses. Also, the IQCODE was found to be uncontaminated by pre-morbid ability as estimated from the National Adult Reading Test and to have very high test-retest reliability after a delay of a day or more.
