Abstract
In 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), we compared performance on a brief Telephone-Assessed Mental State (TAMS) examination with per formance on standard cognitive instruments administered face to face. TAMS scores correlated strongly with scores on both the Mini Mental St ate Examination (rho = 0.8 1) and the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment S cale (rho = -0.80).
