CODING GUIDEBOOK

Copyright pending. University of Washington. Created and published by the ADC Clinical Task Force (John C. Morris, MD, Chair) and the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (Walter A. Kukull, PhD, Director). All rights reserved.

This publication was funded by the National Institutes of Health through the National Institute on Aging (Cooperative Agreement U01 AG016976)

This guidebook contains procedures to be followed when completing the Spanishtranslated versions of the data forms prepared for the Uniform Data Set (UDS) by the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) and approved by the Clinical Task Force of the Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (ADC’s).

Introduction In September 2005, the ADC Clinical Task Force established a subcommittee to translate and adapt UDS instruments to be used by ADC personnel when administering the UDS to Spanishspeaking subjects or informants. It is understood that the UDS will be used with Spanish speakers who reside in different regions of the U.S. and who may be from different nationalities and/or backgrounds. Thus, care was taken to evaluate translations currently available with respect to appropriateness for different Spanishspeaking groups. Specific problem areas were resolved by consensus and, where necessary, modifications were made to assure some degree of universality and to incorporate regional variations into the guidelines for correct responses. Given the heterogeneity of the Spanishspeaking population residing in the U.S., it is not possible to present all conceivable correct responses within the present guidelines. When in doubt as to whether or not a response is correct, the examiner should query the participant regarding the response in question, including spelling of words, if indicated. If needed, this query should be followed by consultation with a comprehensive Spanish dictionary such as theDiccionario de la Real Academia Española(Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy), which is available online, and/or with a reliable source who is knowledgeable about expressions used by the participant’s group of reference. This is not intended as a complete translation of all UDS forms or the entire coding guidebook. The ADC Clinical Task Force selected the following specific forms for standardized translation, along with the appendix and relevant sections of the coding guidebook: Form B5, NPIQ Form B6, GDS Form B7, FAQ Test forms for neuropsychological battery (Form C1): C1.1, MMSE C1.3, Logical Memory IA  Immediate C1.4, Digit Span Forward C1.5, Digit Span Backward C1.6, Category Fluency C1.7, Trail Making Test (instructions only) C1.8, WAISR Digit Symbol (instructions only) C1.9, Logical Memory IIA  Delayed C1.10, Boston Naming Test

These translated forms are to be completed as part of the overall UDS packet for each subject, and should be submitted with the remaining forms listed on Z1, Form Checklist.

NACC expects and intends that all UDS forms will be attempted on all subjects, but we realize this may be impossible when the patient is terminally ill, or when there is no informant, or for other reasons. NACC requires that Forms Z1, A1, A5, B4, B9, C1, D1, and E1 be submitted for a subject to be included in the UDS database, even though these forms may include some missing data. For forms not designated as required, if it is not feasible to collect all or almost all of the data elements for a subject and the ADC therefore decides not to attempt to collect those data, an explanation must be provided. Please indicate this decision on Form Z1 by including the appropriate explanatory code and any additional comments.

Please ask the following questions based upon changes. Indicate “yes” only if the symptom has been present in the past month; otherwise, indicate “no”. U U U U For each item marked “yes”, rate the SEVERITY of the symptom (how it affects the patient): 1 = Mild (noticeable, but not a significant change) 2 = Moderate (significant, but not a dramatic change) 3 = Severe (very marked or prominent; a dramatic change) 1.

Form B5S: BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT – 1 NEUROPSYCHIATRIC INVENTORY QUESTIONNAIRE (NPIQ )(Spanish Module) TP PT

ADC personnel must be certified as an NPIQ interviewer through the online training system developed by the University of California Los Angeles and NACC. The NPIQ Interviewer Certification system may be accessed through the NACC website athttps://www.alz.washington.edu/npiq/signin.html.

For example, if the sub ect ot a score of 4 for 12 completed items, then the estimated total score is 4 + [(4/12) x 3] = 5.

Form C1S: MMSE AND NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL BATTERY(Spanish Module)

This form should be completed by ADC or clinic staff, based on subject response. If the subject cannot complete a particular exam, refer to the appropriate key for coding entry. Worksheets and instructions referenced below and included in the Appendix are based on those provided in the Multiplex Family Study Procedures Manual (created by Columbia University for the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Initiative) and adapted by the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.

The MMSE can be administered by the clinician during the neurological evaluation or by the neuropsychometrist/clinic staff as part of the neuropsychological test battery. In either case, the MMSE must be administered exactly as described in the UDS Appendix – Spanish Module (pages 3–9).

KEY: If the subject cannot complete any of the following exams, please use the following codes for the test scores (except the Trail Making Test): 95 = Physical problem 97 = Other problem 96 = Cognitive/behavior problem 98 = Verbal refusal 1.Mini Mental State Examination 1a.

It is intended that the tests be administered in the order in which they appear beloweven if they were previously administered at a recent clinic screening. This is necessary in order to standardize among Centers the delay intervals for testing memory, and also to eliminate any differences due to the order of test administration. It is therefore suggested that the UDS be administered in its entirety either before or after the administration of other tests commonly used by the Center.

11.Overall Appraisal

…1 Better than normal for age

…for age2 Normal

…or two test scores3 One abnormal

…4 Most test scores are abnormal or lower than expected

…0 Clinician unable to render opinion

The interpretation of neuropsychological test performance can be influenced by many factors e. ., rior co nitive abilit , education, racial/ethnic variables , includin the sub ect’s level of coo eration and motivation. This item is included to obtain the clinical neuro s cholo ist’s opinion of the sub ect’s performance, based not onl on the UDS but also on all other testin that has been done on the sub ect at the ADC. Based on the examination, the clinician is asked to rate the cognitive status as: 1) Better than normal for age: most test scores are at a level above what is considered avera e for a e and education based on available commonl used clinical norms; 2 Normal for a e: most test scores fall at least in what is considered the avera e ran e for age and education; 3) One or two test scores abnormal: most scores are normal or better but one or two are distinctl abnormal; 4 Most test scores are abnormal or lower than ex ected: the ma orit of scores are in the abnormal range for age and education OR in someone who is previously very high functioning, the scores are beneath expectation, albeit not distinctl abnormal; 0) Clinician is unable to render an opinion based on exam and test results.
