3.55 for CDR 1 (52 patients); 4.10 for CDR 2 (45 patients) and 4.72 for CDR 3 (58 patients), p 0.001. Among the patients who had an IQCODE value between 3.00 and 3.12, 93.4% were classified as CDR 0 and among the patients who had an IQCODE value of 4.00 or higher, 94.8% were classified as CDR 3. Conclusions: When assessed retrospectively in a post-mortem study, the CDR and the IQCODE showed a strong correlation for the evaluation of cognitive status.
