The Brief Alzheimer Screen (BAS) is a test that is recommended for
primary care practitioners to screen patients over the age of
60 years for possible cognitive impairment. The MMSEs,
as a group of items to be arithmetically summed, is no longer
recommended by this site. One alternative is to complete
the form provided here and allow this form to calculate an
estimate of the relative number of years into Alzheimer's
disease suggested by the performance on the individual
items. The extended version, MMSEx, which provides a
broader picture, is recommended for assessment of patients
that do not pass the A-Screen.
