IQCODE long forms have longstanding validation for dementia screening support across diverse settings.
Higher IQCODE-26 means indicate greater informant-reported cognitive decline and support further evaluation.
Use when a reliable informant is available and longitudinal cognitive-change perspective is needed.
Results depend on informant accuracy, patient-contact frequency, and contextual bias.
