![]() ![]() The MoCA-S1-2 is a short, easy-to-use, and useful test for diagnosing aMCI and mild dementia.Īmnestic mild cognitive impairment Cognitive screening Demencia Dementia Deterioro cognitivo leve amnésico Latin America Latinoamérica Minimental State Examination (MMSE) Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Tamizaje cognitivo.Ĭopyright © 2017 Sociedad Española de Neurología. The MoCA-S1-2 showed significantly greater discriminant validity than the MMSE for differentiating aMCI from dementia. The level of education had a great impact on scores: as a result, 2 points were added for patients with less than 8 years of schooling and one point for patients with 8-12 years of schooling (MoCA-S1-2). The optimal cut-off points for aMCI and mild dementia were<21 and<20, respectively, with sensitivity and specificity rates of 75% and 82% for aMCI and 90% and 86% for mild dementia. PDF Introduction: Few studies have validated the Spanish-language version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-S) test in Latin American. The MoCA-S was found to be an effective and valid test for detecting aMCI (AUC☐.903) and mild dementia (AUC☐.957) its effectiveness for detecting naMCI was lower (AUC☐.629). The MoCA-S displayed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α: 0.772), high inter-rater reliability (Spearman correlation coefficient: 0.846 P<.01), and high intra-rater reliability (test-retest reliability coefficient: 0.922 P<.001). Mean age and years of schooling were 73☖ and 11±4 years, respectively, with no significant intergroup differences. Participants were evaluated with both the MoCA-S and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to determine the discriminant validity of the MoCA-S. Adaptations to standard items will be designed to assess the same cognitive domain of the hearing-dependent or vision-dependent items. Patients were independent in their IADLs showing below cut offs on a standardized functional capacity measure (FAQ mean of 4.59). To evaluate the psychometric properties and discriminant validity of the MoCA-S in elderly patients in Santiago de Chile.ġ72 individuals were grouped according to their clinical diagnosis based on the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale as follows: amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI n☒4), non-amnestic MCI (naMCI n☒4), mild dementia (n☒0), and cognitively normal (n☑04). Participants with normal sensory function will complete the standard version of the MoCA (version 8.1) as well as novel items for the hearing-independent and vision-independent MoCA versions. Method: Data were obtained from 24 TLE patients (69.6 females and 30.4 males, mean age 49) referred by their neurologists for outpatient neuropsychological testing. ![]() ![]() Few studies have validated the Spanish-language version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-S) test in Latin American populations. ![]()
