Differences in instrumental activities of daily living between mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease: A study using a detailed executive function assessment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIM: Executive dysfunction is pathognomonic for dementia and impedes the activities of daily living (ADL). This study aimed to examine the relationship of dementia severity with executive dysfunction and ADL in mild cognitive impairment and dementia. METHODS: This single-center study enrolled 86 patients (men, 40; women, 46; mean age, 76.1 ± 7.5 years) referred for cognitive and physical rehabilitation between October 2015 and September 2020. The Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) was 0.5, 1, and ≥2 in 45, 30, and 11 patients, respectively. The presence and severity of executive dysfunction were assessed using the Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome-Japanese version (BADS). The ADL and instrumental ADL (IADL) were assessed using the Barthel Index and Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), respectively. We examined the relationship between CDR severity and overall BADS profile score and its sub-items, and that between the overall BADS profile score and IADL. RESULTS: The cognitive and executive functional assessment scores differed significantly depending on the CDR severity. The CDR severity and overall BADS profile score exhibited significant correlations. The BADS found cognitive impairment in 31%, 70%, and 100% of patients with CDR0.5, CDR1, and CDR≥2, respectively. The FAI score differed according to the CDR severity in women but not in men. The overall profile and age-adjusted BADS scores were strongly correlated with the IADL in women but not in men. CONCLUSIONS: The greater the severity of executive dysfunction, the greater the difficulty in performing ADL. This effect was more pronounced in women and may predict dementia progression.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
