Objective: To validate the Spanish version of the Baylor Profound Mental Status Examination (BPMSE-Sp). Methods: The Baylor Profound Mental Status Examination (BPMSE) was translated to Spanish and back translated. Validation was conducted in 100 patients with severe probable AD with a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) &lt;12. We assessed internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s alpha), concurrent validity (Pearson\u2019s correlations) with the MMSE, Severe Impairment Battery (SIB), Neuropsychiatric Inventory Short Form (NPI-Q) and the Functional Assessment Staging and reliability. Results: The mean age of patients was 84.9; 74% were female; 64% were institutionalized. The mean MMSE was 5.6; the mean BPMSE-Sp was 13.6; the mean BPMSE-Sp behavior was 1.2; the mean SIB was 42.2; and the mean NPI-Q was 4.7. BPMSE-Sp presented good internal consistency (Cronbach \u03b1=\u200a0.84). There were significant correlations between the BPMSE-Sp and MMSE (r\u200a=\u200a0.86, p\u200a&lt; \u200a0.001), and between the BPMSE-Sp and SIB (r\u200a=\u200a0.92, p\u200a&lt; \u200a0.001). Inter-rater and test-retest reliability were in both cases excellent, ranging between 0.96 and 0.99 (p\u200a&lt; \u200a0.001). BPMSE-Sp had fewer floor and ceiling effects than the MMSE. Conclusions: The BPMSE-Sp is a valid tool for use in daily practice and research in the evaluation of cognitive function of patients with severe AD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-150422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,3]],"date-time":"2015-11-03T11:24:49Z","timestamp":1446549889000},"page":"73-78","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Validation
