This tool is intended for use only by clinicians trained in | ||
administering and interpreting the ACE-III. It is a screening | ||
tool, not a diagnostic instrument, and provides a risk score to | ||
guide further diagnostic evaluations. It does not diagnose | ||
dementia. | ||

### About FRONTIER | ||
|
||
The FRONTIER Research Group, based at the Brain and Mind Centre, | ||
University of Sydney, specialises in the study of younger-onset | ||
dementias. Patients in the FRONTIER programme are typically | ||
assessed every 12 months until discontinuation. Assessments | ||
typically include a comprehensive neurological exam, a | ||
neuropsychological evaluation, and a structural brain MRI, | ||
completed within a 3-month period. For more information on | ||
FRONTIER assessment procedures, visit [https://osf.io/6hpax/](https://osf.io/6hpax/). | ||

### About the Dataset | ||
|
||
This case-control study included participants recruited from | ||
September 2011 to December 2023. It comprises 431 patients with | ||
dementia (409 with a major neurocognitive disorder and 22 with a | ||
minor neurocognitive disorder at the last clinical assessment) and | ||
107 non-dementia controls. | ||
|
||
The dataset includes annual repeat | ||
assessments, resulting in 844 ACE-III assessments from patients | ||
with dementia (789 with a major and 55 with a minor neurocognitive | ||
disorder) and 224 ACE-III assessments from non-dementia controls. | ||
This dataset is based on performance profiles from the Australian | ||
version of the ACE-III. The dementia risk value is derived from a | ||
binomial logistic regression model. For more information about the | ||
dataset and model, visit [https://osf.io/6hpax/](https://osf.io/6hpax/). | ||
