Abstract:
Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the John Hopkins Adapted Cognitive Exam ( ACE) in NICU patients. Methods The English ACE was translated and adapted into the Chinese version . Cognitive functions of 40 critically ill patients in NICU were assessed with the Chi?nese version of ACE and MMSE battery.The scores of ACE and MMSE were analyzed to test the content va?lidity,construct validity,concurrent validity,internal consistency,inter?rater reliability and test?retest reliabil?ity.Result The correlation coefficient between each factor and the total score ranged from 0.617 to 0.938, and the content validity was good.The ACE was significantly correlated with MMSE( r=0.822, P<0.05). Five factors were extracted by main principle analysis, the cumulative contribution was 85. 90%, the factor loading of each item was all over 0.5,the scale had good construct validity.There existed a good internal con?sistency ( Cronbach’ α=0.756 ) as well as a good inter?rater reliability ( ICC>0.95) and test?retest reliabil?ity (ICC=0.652?0.979) of the Chinese version of ACE.Conclusions The Chinese version of ACE has been proved to be a reliable and valid screening tool for cognitive impairment in NICU patients.
