LOINC long common name : Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale [RUDAS];
LOINC description : The Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale was originally designed to assess
dementia in the elderly across various culturally and linguistically distinct populations.
The scale consists of six tasks covering memory, body orientation, praxis, drawing,
judgement and language. Linguistic adaptations have allowed for more widespread use
of RUDAS outside of Australia. [PMID: 30606042] The maximum total score is 30, lower
scores are associated with higher possibility of cognitive impairment, with scores
of 22 or less in need of physician referral for further investigation.;
