The Alzheimer's Disease Centers' Uniform Data Set (UDS)

Version 3 of the Alzheimer Disease Centers’ Neuropsychological Test Battery in the Uniform Data Set (UDS)

INTRODUCTION The neuropsychological battery of the Uniform Data Set (UDSNB) was implemented in 2005 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Alzheimer Disease Centers program to measure cognitive performance in dementia and mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer Disease. This paper describes a revision, the UDSNB 3.0. METHODS The Neuropsychology Work Group of the NIA Clinical Task Force r...

The Uniform Data Set (UDS): clinical and cognitive variables and descriptive data from Alzheimer Disease Centers.

A Clinical Task Force, composed of clinical leaders from Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADC), was convened by the National Institute on Aging to develop a uniform set of assessment procedures to characterize individuals with mild Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment in comparison with nondemented aging. The resulting Uniform Data Set (UDS) defines a common set of clinical observations ...

The Alzheimer's Disease Centers' Uniform Data Set (UDS): the neuropsychologic test battery.

The neuropsychologic test battery from the Uniform Data Set (UDS) of the Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADC) program of the National Institute on Aging consists of brief measures of attention, processing speed, executive function, episodic memory, and language. This paper describes development of the battery and preliminary data from the initial UDS evaluation of 3268 clinically cognitively norma...

UDS: A Universal Data Structure

abstract This paper gives a data structure (UDS) for supporting database retrieval, inference and machine learning that attempts to unify and extend previous work in relational databases, semantic networks, conceptual graphs, RETE, neural networks and case-based reasoning. Foundational to this view is that all data can be viewed as a primitive set of objects and mathematical relations (as sets ...
