pubmed-article:20637140 | pubmed:abstractText | Cognitive assessment of older persons, particularly those with impairment, is hampered by measurement error and the ethical issues of testing people with dementia. A potential source of valuable information about end-of-life cognitive status can be gained from those who knew the respondent well - mostly relatives or friends. This study tested the association between last cognitive assessment before death and a retrospective informant assessment of cognition. | lld:pubmed |
