Other variables included were: global cognition, measured by the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument; stages of dementia, measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale; and depressive symptoms, measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form. Results.Findings indicated that the Chinese ESQD-P is a reliable instrument for measuring GLB (internal consistency α = 0.73). A five-factor solution explained 55.45% of the score variance, while the correlations between the patient and ***proxy versions ***of this instrument yielded an acceptable concurrent validity.

Explanation:
Proxy suele traducirse como "delegado" (ej. proxy decision", en el caso de una persona que faculta a un familiar a tomar decisiones sobre intervenciones que se le realizarán), pero no parece ser este el contexto.

Otra definición para proxy que encontré es:
"a measurement used in social science surveys or other research as an approximation to a desired measure that is impossible or inconvenient to obtain"

Ver contexto en la primer referencia:
"6 ITEM SELF-ADMINSTERED PROXY
The 6-item, self-administered, proxy version allows someone other than the
primary respondent to provide their evaluation of the primary respondent’s
difficulties with functioning. This version can be used when the primary
respondent cannot complete a self-evaluation, or to allow for comparisons of
perceptions of difficulty. This version can be completed by family members,
friends, or anyone with frequent contact with the primary respondent, such as
caregivers."

Espero que sirva. Saludos!
