ADNI Measures and the Uniform Data Set (UDS)
The tests and scales were chosen for use in this protocol because:
  • They represent the domains of interest in this patient population
  • They adequately sample cognitive domains of interest in subjects who are normal, or have MCI or AD
  • Are able to measure change over two to three years in these patient populations
  • Subjects enrolled will not demonstrate floor or ceiling effects
  • Are reasonably efficient and can meet the practical demands of the proposed study
  • Were utilized previously in the ADCS MCI trial and worked well.
All of these instruments are widely used in multi-center trials studying normals, MCI, and early AD subjects. Additionally, they are being used by Alzheimer Disease Centers as part of their collection of a Uniform Data Set (UDS) thereby reducing the amount of testing that subjects will need to undergo who are enrolled in both ADC’s and ADNI.

The Uniform Data Set is part of the collaborative research facilitated by the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) among approximately 30 Alzheimer's Disease Centers funded by the National Institute on Aging.
