Abstract

The neuropsychological battery UDS (of the English Uniform Data Set), is used worldwide to homogenize the investigations of Alzheimer’s disease. 

Objective: Quantitatively synthesize the results of the subtests of the UDS for the cognitive profile of controls, patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia of the Alzheimer type. 

Method: An advanced and manual systematic search was performed in databases (PubMed / MedLine, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO) evaluating the diagnostic performance of the UDS. 

Results: The systematic review showed a narrative synthesis where 8 articles were included that included 9260 subjects, with an age range between 60 and 90 years. The quantitative synthesis used 13 articles with a total sample of 2,884 participants, with an average age of 74 years and an average of 15 years of education. 

Conclusion: We described a synthesis of the medial scores, which generate cut-off points for Alzheimer’s type dementia (DTA), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cognitively normal controls, evidencing an adequate diagnostic precession.
