  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Background: Screening of aphasia in acute stroke is crucial for directing patients to  early language therapy. The Language Screening Test (LAST), originally developed in  French, is a validated language screening test that allows detection of a language  deficit within a few minutes. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate  two parallel German versions of the LAST. Methods: The LAST includes subtests for  naming, repetition, automatic speech, and comprehension. For the translation into  German, task constructs and psycholinguistic criteria for item selection were identical  to the French LAST. A cohort of 101 stroke patients were tested, all of whom were  native German speakers. Validation of the LAST was based on (1) analysis of  equivalence of the German versions, which was established by administering both  versions successively in a subset of patients, (2) internal validity by means of internal  consistency analysis, and (3) external validity by comparison with the short version of  the Token Test in another subset of patients. Results: The two German versions were  equivalent as demonstrated by a high intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.91.  Furthermore, an acceptable internal structure of the LAST was found (Cronbach's α =  0.74). A highly significant correlation (r = 0.74, p &lt; 0.0001) between the LAST and the  short version of the Token Test indicated good external validity of the scale.  Conclusion: The German version of the LAST, available in two parallel versions, is a  new and valid language screening test in stroke.</dc:description>
