Methods: Thirteen patients with mild SVaD, 15 patients with mild probable AD, and 30 healthy controls, matched for age, education and dementia severity (in the case of patients), were submitted to the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and NEUROPSI battery. The performance of AD and SVaD groups on NEUROPSI subtests was compared. The statistical analyses were performed using Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. The results were interpreted at the 5% significance level (p&lt;0.05). Bonferroni's correction was applied to multiple comparisons (a=0.02). Results: SVaD and AD patients showed no statistical difference in MMSE scores (SVaD=20.8 and AD=21.0; p=1.0) or in NEUROPSI total score (SVaD=65.0 and AD=64.3; p=0.56), suggesting a similar severity of dementia. The AD group performed worse on memory recall (&lt;0.01) and SVaD group was worse in verbal fluency subtests (p=0.02). Conclusion: NEUROPSI's memory and language subtests can be an auxiliary tool for differentiating SVaD from AD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1980-57642012dn06030010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,20]],"date-time":"2016-07-20T13:23:51Z","timestamp":1469021031000},"page":"170-174","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["NEUROPSI battery subtest profile in subcortical vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Maria Niures P.S.","family":"Matioli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lus\u00edada University, Brazil; University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo","family":"Caramelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil; Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Dementia: a public health priority","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"622","DOI":"10.1017\/S1041610209009430","article-title":"Prevalence of dementia in Latin America: a collaborative study of population-based cohorts","volume":"21","author":"Nitrini R","year":"2009","journal-title":"Int Psychogeriatr"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2672","DOI":"10.1161\/STR.0b013e3182299496","article-title":"Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia: a statement for healthcare professionals from the American Heart Association\/American Stroke Association","volume":"42","author":"Gorelick PF","year":"2011","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"745","DOI":"10.1076\/jcen.24.6.745.8399","article-title":"Differences in executive functioning between Alzheimer's disease and subcortical ischemic vacular dementia","volume":"24","author":"Yuspeh RL","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Clin Exp Neuropsychol"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"49","article-title":"Dem\u00eancia vascular: Crit\u00e9rios diagn\u00f3sticos e exames complementares","volume":"5","author":"Engelhardt E","year":"2011","journal-title":"Dement Neuropsychol"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejphar.2004.02.046","article-title":"Neuropsychology of cognitive ageing, minimal cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular cognitive impairment","volume":"490","author":"Lindeboom J","year":"2004","journal-title":"Eur J Pharmacol"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jalz.2011.03.005","article-title":"The diagnosis of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease: Recommendations from the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease","volume":"7","author":"McKhann GM","year":"2011","journal-title":"Alzheimers Dement"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"21","article-title":"Doen\u00e7a de Alzheimer: avalia\u00e7\u00e3o cognitiva, comportamental e emocional","volume":"5","author":"Chaves MLS","year":"2011","journal-title":"Dement Neuropsychol"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1017\/S1355617799555045","article-title":"EUROPSI: a brief neuropsychological test battery in Spanish with norms by age and educational level","volume":"5","author":"Ostrosky-Solis F","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Int Neuropsychol Soc"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"72","DOI":"10.1097\/WAD.0b013e3181665397","article-title":"Applicability of the abbreviated neuropsychologic battery (NEUROPSI) in Alzheimer disease patients","volume":"22","author":"Abrisqueta-Gomez J","year":"2008","journal-title":"Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV)","year":"1994","edition":"4th"},{"key":"ref12","first-page":"5","article-title":"Dem\u00eancia vascular: os grandes subtipos cl\u00ednico-patol\u00f3gicos isqu\u00eamicos","volume":"42","author":"Engelhardt E","year":"2006","journal-title":"Rev Bras Neurol"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"939","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.34.7.939","article-title":"Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: report of the NINCDS-ADRDA work group under the auspices of the Department of Health & Human Services Task Force on Alzheimer's disease","volume":"34","author":"Mckhann G","year":"1984","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"ref14","first-page":"713","article-title":"Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in Brazil: diagnostic criteria and auxiliary tests.
