• Description:
  Introduction : The aging population highlights age as a key risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders. Reliable diagnostic tools are crucial. This review examines the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) and the General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG), focusing on their sensitivity, specificity, and utility in diverse healthcare contexts.  Purpose of Research: This analysis explores the clinical utility of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) and the General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG) for diagnosing cognitive disorders, including dementia, emphasizing their use in primary care and specialized settings.  Materials and Methods : A review of 37 peer-reviewed studies, including clinical trials and validation research, was conducted using databases like PubMed and Google Scholar. Keywords included "GPCOG," "ACE-III," and "cognitive screening."  Results : ACE-III shows high diagnostic accuracy, with sensitivity and specificity exceeding 93% and 96%. It excels in assessing complex dementia but is time-intensive and requires trained personnel, limiting its use in primary care. Conversely, GPCOG is a quick, user-friendly tool suited for primary care but lacks the depth for detailed diagnostics.  Conclusions : ACE-III is optimal for detailed evaluations in specialized settings, while GPCOG excels in rapid primary care screening. Combined, they enhance early detection and management of cognitive disorders.
