快速痴呆筛查试验（RDST）是一种支持痴呆诊断的新型心理测量筛查工具。它包括两个部分：单词生成任务和数字转码任务；它时间短（约3分钟），易于管理，并为患者所接受。对两个年龄组（60岁以下和60岁以上）的原始评分进行转换后，评估的认知能力可被解释为与年龄相符或低于平均水平，具有良好的敏感性和特异性，并可据此确定后续的诊断措施。因此，RDST是全科医生检测痴呆患者的一种经济工具。版权所有(C) 2003 S. Karger AG，巴塞尔。
The Rapid Dementia Screening Test (RDST) is a new psychometric screening tool to support the diagnosis of dementia. It includes two parts - a word generation task and a number transcoding task; it is short (taking approximately 3 min) and easy to administer, and it is well accepted by patients. After transformation of the raw scores in two age groups (under and over 60 years), the assessed cognitive abilities can be interpreted as age-appropriate or below average with good sensitivity and specificity, and subsequent diagnostic measures can be determined accordingly. The RDST is thus an economical tool for detecting demented patients by general practitioners. Copyright (C) 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel.
