This systematic review investigates the accuracy of non-English versions of the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) and the ACE-III, brief screening tools developed to screen for dementia. <span style="color: #6e6259; font-family: urw-geometric, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Although speech-language pathologists do not diagnose dementia, the findings may be useful for identifying tools for detection of cognitive impairments in this population.</span>

The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) and Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) were reported to demonstrate good to excellent sensitivity and specificity for detecting dementia, but diagnostic accuracy may vary based on the subtype (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal degeneration, vascular dementia). The included studies investigating the tests were from Spanish and Thai language versions.
