ACE-III: Scoring <82 suggests dementia if other causes have been excluded. A global reduction across domains is usually
seen in dementia; if scores are very skewed, more specialist assessment may be warranted (discuss with Old Age or
Neuropsychiatry).

M-ACE: scoring ≤ 25/30 strongly suggests cognitive impairment; ≤ 21/30 almost certainly shows dementia, if other
diagnoses have been excluded. (NB: If the clock-drawing test is done correctly, it almost certainly excludes dementia,
due to the wide range of cognitive skills used.)
