LONGITUDINAL MOCA COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT SERIAL

The same pattern of group differences (controls > MCI > AD) was observed for each of the versions.Īll three forms can be reliably and interchangeably used in serial cognitive assessment, confirming the MoCA's applicability in research and clinical longitudinal approaches. As in previous studies, age and education influenced performance in the MoCA. Results suggest that the MoCA can detect cognitive change in MCI over a 3.5-year period and preliminarily supports the utility of the MoCA as a repeatable brief cognitive screening measure. The Telephone Montreal Cognitive Assessment (T-MoCA), which was developed as an alternative to the TICS, provides a means of assessing mental status based on the parts of the MoCA that can be administered over the phone. Total mean scores did not differ significantly between the MoCA versions, even taking into account the presentation order. Longitudinal cognitive testing is essential for developing novel preventive interventions for dementia and Alzheimers disease however, the few available tools have significant practice effect and depend on an external evaluator.

MMT and MoCA tests were applied to the patients included in the study. There was a strong correlation between the alternate forms and the original MoCA in all groups, but particularly in the clinical samples. cognitive dysfunction (POCD): a meta-analysis of observational studies. The diagnosis of the majority of patients was supported by in vivo AD pathology biomarkers. The original and one of two alternate forms of the MoCA were administered within a 60-min interval of a clinical interview in a counterbalanced order to 100 healthy elderly controls, 30 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our objective was to investigate the reliability of two German MoCA alternate forms for longitudinal assessment applications. For serial assessments, alternate forms are needed to overcome possible practice effects. For serial assessments, alternate forms are needed to overcome possible practice effects. Aims: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has gained recognition for its validity in detecting cognitive impairment in several clinical populations.
