INTRODUCTION Routine cognitive screening for in-patients aged ≥75 years is recommended, but there is uncertainty around how this should be operationalised. We therefore determined the feasibility and reliability of the Abbreviated mental test score (AMTS/10) and its relationship to subjective memory complaint, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA/30) and informant report in unselected older admi...

Objective: the montreal cognitive assessment (moca) provides an indication of overall cognitive functioning and aims to measure several cognitive domains, such as memory, visuospatial abilities, executive function, attention and concentration, language, fluency, and orientation. It has been found sensitive to detect the (mild) cognitive impairment in patients diagnosed with substance dependence...

OBJECTIVES To describe the development of a multidimensional test of cognition for the National Social life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP), the Chicago Cognitive Function Measure (CCFM). METHOD CCFM development included 3 steps: (a) A pilot test of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to create a standard protocol, choose specific items, reorder items, and improve clarity; (b) integrat...

BACKGROUND Dementia is one of the most distressing and burdensome health problems associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) is widely used to screen for dementia in PD patients, but the appropriate diagnostic cutoff score when used with Chinese PD patients is not known. AIM Determine a diagnostic cutoff value of the Chinese version of the MoCA (M...

BACKGROUND A cross-sectional validation study was conducted in several urban and rural communities in Beijing, China, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ) as a screening tool to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among Chinese older adults. METHODS The MoCA-BJ and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were administered to 1...

background and purpose: the increased risk for cognitive defects in individuals affected by metabolic syndrome especially in those patients with cardiovascular disorders is now claimed. we aimed to assess the relationship between cognitive performance and the various components of metabolic syndrome. methods: one hundred and eighteen consecutive individuals aged 30 to 86 years were included int...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prognostic value of the neurocognitive status measured by screening instruments, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), individually and in combination with the stroke severity scale, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), obtained at the subacute stroke phase or the baseline (≤2 weeks), for functional out...

OBJECTIVE Existing screening tools for HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND) may lack the accuracy required for clinical use. We hypothesized that the diagnostic accuracy of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a screening tool for HAND might be improved with a stronger scoring methodology. DESIGN Two hundred HIV-positive participants aged 18-65 years completed the MoCA and a ...

BACKGROUND The predictive ability of National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke-Canadian Stroke Network (NINDS-CSN) 5-minute protocol and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) administered sub-acutely and at the convalescent phase after stroke for significant vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) at 1 year is unknown. We compared prognostic values of these tests. METHODS Patients with...
