NCIt definition : A standardized rating scale originally developed by Hachinski et al in 1975 and later
modified by Rosen et al in 1980 to clinically differentiate two most common types
of dementia: senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT), a primary degenerative
disease, and primary degenerative disease (MID), a vascular disorder. The modified
version of the questionnaire contains 8 features for more accurate diagnosis of MID,
the vascular dementia type. This questionnaire can be scored between 0 and 18, where
a score greater than 7 suggests vascular involvement.;
