The Telephone Interview Cognitive Status (TICS) is an instrument to screen for dementia in older persons by telephone. Although the psychometric properties of the TICS have been studied in various countries, the quality of the Dutch version of the TICS was yet unknown. This paper presents the Dutch version of the TICS and reports on its reliability and validity among 51 patients of Maastricht University Hospital, The Netherlands. The Pearson and intra-class correlations for test-retest reliability were 0.93 and 0.92, respectively. The Pearson and intra-class correlations for inter-rater reliability were 0.91 and 0.90, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were studied in relation to the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE, cut-off point 23/ 24) and the diagnosis of dementia as assessed according to DSM-IV criteria. When using the TICS cut-off point of 26/27, the coefficients for sensitivity and specificity were at least 0.80. The percentages ROC under the curve were 90% and 93% with the MMSE and the diagnosis dementia as criterion, respectively. We conclude that the Dutch version of the TICS is an acceptable instrument for screening for dementia in older persons, particularly when face-to-face contact is not possible.
