BACKGROUND: The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) is a validated clinical instrument for the evaluation of psychopathology in dementia. OBJECTIVE: To validate a brief questionnaire form of the NPI (NPI-Q) in Spanish from NPI-Q original version, intended for use in routine clinical practice. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We have developed a crossed validated form between NPI and NPI-Q in 120 Alzheimer's disease patients. RESULTS: Test-retest reliability of the NPI-Q, using Pearson correlation index was r = 0.89 for total symptom scale and r = 0.90 for distress scale. The prevalence of analogous symptom ratings differed by less than 6.7%. Convergent validity between NPI-Q and NPI, using Pearson correlation index was r = 0.879 for total symptom and r = 0.92 for distress scale. CONCLUSIONS: The NPI-Q Spanish version offers the possibility to use a reliable and brief instrument that can be used as a screening in the evaluation of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and associated caregiver distress. It may be suitable for use in general clinical practice and it could be used as a brief neuropsychiatric interview.
