    Author: Chan SM, Chiu FK, Lam CW.
    Journal: Int J Geriatr Psychiatry; 2006 Jun; 21(6):535-41. PubMed ID: 16645939.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: This study is designed to pilot test the feasibility and correlational properties of the adapted Chinese version of Executive Interview (C-EXIT25) to other cognitive measures in a psychogeriatric population in Hong Kong Chinese. METHOD: Eighty-five community dwelling elders from different levels of residential care facilities were assessed with C-EXIT25, Cantonese version of Mini-Mental State Examination (C-MMSE), Chinese version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (CDRS) and Nelson's Modified Card Sorting Test (MCST). RESULTS: The C-EXIT25 has high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.7995) and inter-rater reliability (r = 0.91). The C-EXIT25 has superior correlational property to performance indices of MCST than the C-MMSE and CDRS, after adjusting for age, gender and educational level. It also discriminates among subjects at different stages on Clinical Dementia Rating. CONCLUSIONS: The C-EXIT25 is a potentially feasible and valid bedside tool for assessment of executive cognitive functions in the psychogeriatric population in Hong Kong Chinese.
