What is Psychometric properties of the Caregiver’s inventory neuropsychological diagnosis dementia (CINDD) in mild cognitive impairment and dementia about?

## Objectives The Caregiver’s Inventory Neuropsychological Diagnosis Dementia (CINDD) is an easy tool designed to quantify cognitive, behavioural and functional deficits of patients with cognitive impairment. Aim of the present study was to analyse the psychometric properties of the CINDD in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Dementia (D). ## Design, setting and participants The CINDD, composed by 9 sub-domains, was administered to fifty-six caregivers of patients with different types of dementia (D) and 44 caregivers of patients with MCI. All patients underwent an extensive neuropsychological assessment, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and functional autonomy scales. The reliability, convergent construct validity and possible cut-off of CINND were measured by Cronbach’s alpha (α), Pearson’s correlation and ROC analysis, respectively. ## Results The D and MCI patients differed only for age (p=0.006). The internal consistency of CINDD was high (α= 0.969). The α-value for each CINDD domain was considered acceptable, except the mood domain (α=0.209). The CINDD total score correlated with cognitive screening tests; each domain of the CINDD correlated with the corresponding score
