Comparative analysis between the MMSE and the RUDAS for dementia screening in low educated people in a Spanish psychogeriatric clinic

The RUDAS was not only as accurate as the MMSE for the screening of dementia, but also, it was found to be free of biases associated withed the education level. Hence, the RUDAS seems to be a more adequate test for dementia screening in our cultural context than the MMSE. These results should be replicated in a primary care setting.
