Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Mini-Mental State Examination Reliable Change Indices in Healthy Older Adults. ↑ Kopecek, M., Bezdicek, O., Sulc, Z., Lukavsky,J., & Stepankova, H.Applied Neuropsychology: Adult, 24(1), 23-29. Delirium was not systematically assessed and consequently hypoactive delirium cases were possibly missed. Unambiguous delirium was detected in 6 patients. The pre- and postoperative cognitive tests implied there were no changes in cognitive functioning. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA): Normative Data for Old and Very Old Czech Adults. The mean MoCA score on the first visit was 20.7 (SD: 4.1). ↑ Kopecek, M., Stepankova, H., Lukavsky, J., Ripova, D., Nikolai, T., & Bezdicek, O.↑ REKTOROVÁ, Irena. Screeningové škály pro hodnocení demence.(2006) Montrealský kognitivni test /MoCA/: přínos k diagnostice predemencí. Journal of the American Geriatric Society, 53(4), 695–699. The Montreal cognitive assessment, MoCA: A brief screening A., Bedirian, V., Charbonneau, S., Whitehead, V., Collin,I.,…Chertkow, H. Results MoCA scores were converted to MMSE-2 scores according to a conversion table that. REKTOROVÁ, PH.D, Irena. Screeningové škály pro hodnocení demence. Then, we evaluated the reliability and accuracy of this algorithm to convert the MoCA to the MMSE-2. We observe the highest scores in cognitively healthy individuals. In persons with mild cognitive impairment, attention is not impaired, but scores on other items are also low. People with Alzheimer's have the lowest scores on most abilities. The following cognitive abilities are assessed: dexterity (connecting numbers), spatial orientation (drawing a cube), visual construction skills (drawing a clock and marking a certain time), naming an animal, memory, attention, repeating sentences, recalling words, abstraction, later acquisition of words, orientation. Healthcare professionals can interpret the level. The test takes approximately ten minutes to complete and is worth a maximum of 30 points. MMSE Pros and cons FAQs Summary The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test can detect mild cognitive impairment or early signs of dementia. It is mainly used to detect the early stages of Alzheimer's dementia and mild cognitive impairment, but also Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, vascular cognitive disorders, brain metastasis, primary brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, depression, schizophrenia, etc. MoCA has a relatively wide range of uses, as it evaluates multiple cognitive domains, and thus can be useful in the detection of various neurological diseases. Our results conflict with the original validation study conducted by the MoCA test developers in 2005, which recommended <26 as the ‘optimal’ (i.e., giving the best balance of sensitivity and specificity) cutoff score.
