Özet

BackgroundA simple, quick, and efficient screening tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is essential, especially in the primary care setting. In this study, we examined the neuropsychological profiles of elderly patients and aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the triple test, comprised of the attended alone sign (AAS), head-turning sign, and applause sign (AS), for detecting MCI and AD.
