AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study sought to analyze the psychometric properties and 
      diagnostic accuracy of the Chilean version of the INECO Frontal Screening 
      (IFS-Ch) in a sample of dementia patients and control subjects. METHODS: After 
      adapting the instrument to the Chilean context and obtaining content validity 
      evidence through expert consultation, the IFS-Ch was administered to 31 dementia 
      patients and 30 control subjects together with other executive assessments 
      (Frontal Assessment Battery [FAB], Modified version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting 
      Test [MCST], phonemic verbal fluencies [letters A and P] and semantic verbal 
      fluency [animals]) and global cognitive efficiency tests (Mini mental State 
      Examination [MMSE] and Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised [ACE-R]). 
      Caregivers of dementia patients and proxies of control subjects were interviewed 
      with instruments measuring dysexecutive symptoms (Dysexecutive Questionnaire 
      [DEX]), dementia severity (Clinical Dementia Rating Scale [CDR]) and functional 
      status in activities of daily living (Activities of Daily Living Scale [IADL] and 
      Technology-Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire [T-ADLQ]). Convergent and 
      discriminant validity, internal consistency reliability, cut-off points, 
      sensitivity and specificity for the IFS-Ch were estimated. RESULTS: Evidence of 
      content validity was obtained. Evidence of convergent validity was also found 
      showing significant correlations (p<0.05) between the IFS-Ch and the other 
      instruments measuring: executive functions (FAB, r=0.935; categories achieved in 
      the MCST, r=0.791; perseverative errors in the MCST, r= -0.617; animal verbal 
      fluency, r=0.728; "A" verbal fluency, r=0.681; and "P" verbal fluency, r=0.783), 
      dysexecutive symptoms in daily living (DEX, r= -0.494), dementia severity (CDR, 
      r= -0.75) and functional status in activities of daily living (T-ADLQ, r= -0.745; 
      IADL, r=0.717). Regarding reliability, a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.905 
      was obtained. For diagnostic accuracy, a cut-off point of 18 points 
      (sensitivity=0.903; specificity=0.867) and an area under curve of 0.951 were 
      estimated to distinguish between patients with dementia and control subjects. 
      DISCUSSION: The IFS-Ch showed acceptable psychometric properties, supported by 
      evidence of validity and reliability for its use in the measurement of executive 
      functions in patients with dementia. The diagnostic accuracy of the IFS-Ch for 
      detecting dementia patients was also considered acceptable.
