Abstract:	Background/purposes: Unimpaired activities of daily living (ADL) is essential for the diagnosis of normal cognition and mild cognitive impairment. However, diagnosis according to this concept is difficult to apply to patients comorbid with motor dysfunction. We aim to use a novel ADL questionnaire for operationally diagnosing unimpaired ADL in vascular cognitive impairment with no dementia (VCIND). Methods and participants: This was a retrospective cohort study with both cross-sectional and long-term follow-up analysis. Patients with cerebrovascular disease with normal cognition (CVDNC), VCIND, and vascular dementia (VaD) were analyzed. Cutoff scores for differentiating different stages of cognitive impairment were compared between the new History-based Artificial Intelligent ADL questionnaire (HAI-ADL) and other tools. Results: A total of 596 individuals were analyzed, including 40 CVDNC, 167 VCIND, 218 mild, 119 moderate, and 52 severe-dementia patients. The cutoff scores for determining unimpaired ADL in VCIND were 8.5, 3.5, 5, 100, and 60 in HAI-ADL, CDR-SB, IADL, BI, and CASI, respectively. HAI-ADL had the highest correlations with CDR-SB and the CDR staging system compared to other tools. Four models of progression rates from CVDNC/VCIND to VaD revealed it was much higher in the group with HAI-ADL > 8.5 compared to those with HAI-ADL > 8.5 with odds ratios of 3.75, 3.66, 3.31, and 2.77, respectively. Conclusion: Our study showed that HAI-ADL provides an operational determinates unimpaired ADL which is necessary for the diagnosis of VCIND. The predictive value for progression to dementia was proved by a long-term follow-up analysis of the research cohort. Copyright (C) 2020, Formosan Medical Association.
