作者使用两项基于人群的研究的临床诊断作为金标准，研究了瑞典两个疾病登记处痴呆症识别的敏感性和特异性。住院患者出院登记处检测到痴呆的概率为55%的流行患者和31%的事件患者，高于死亡原因登记处的检测。住院患者出院登记的特异性为98%，死亡原因登记的特异性为100%。
The authors investigated the sensitivity and specificity of dementia identification in two Swedish disease registries by using clinical diagnoses from two population-based studies as gold standards. The probability of dementia detected by the Inpatient Discharge Registry was 55% for prevalent patients and 31% for incident patients and was higher than detection by the Cause of Death Registry. Specificity was 98% for the Inpatient Discharge Registry and 100% for the Cause of Death Registry.
