Why is Mini-Mental state examination performance correlated with estimated premorbid cognitive ability?
BACKGROUND Tests requiring the pronunciation of irregular words are used to estimate premorbid cognitive ability in patients with clinical diagnoses, and prior cognitive ability in normal ageing. However, scores on these word-reading tests correlate with scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a widely used screening test for possible cognitive pathology. This study aimed to test wh...
متن کاملCognitive Impairment in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease; Comparison of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Background & Objective: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transient state between normal condition and dementia. Available data indicates that coronary artery diseases (CAD) may increase the risk of MCI. Hence, the early detection of MCI can prevent the progression of cognitive decline. Materials & Methods: A sample of 65 subjects with degrees of CAD was enrolled to the study. For cogniti...
متن کاملUrine formaldehyde level is inversely correlated to mini mental state examination scores in senile dementia.
It is widely known that exogenous formaldehyde exposure induces human cognitive impairment and animal memory loss; and recent studies show that formaldehyde at pathological levels induces Aβ deposition and misfolding of tau protein to form globular amyloid-like aggregates. Endogenous formaldehyde may be a marker for progressive senile dementia. The aim of this study was to investigate the corre...
متن کاملMini-mental state examination in neurological patients.
The Mini-Mental State examination has been found to be a quick and valuable test for simple bedside screening, and for serial assessment of cognitive function in a population of 126 neurological patients. Amongst those with cognitive impairment, there was a close relation between the Mini-Mental State examination and the conventional Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). However, the Mini-M...
متن کاملThe Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).
WHY: Cognitive impairment is no longer considered a normal and inevitable change of aging. Although older adults are at higher risk than the rest of the population, changes in cognitive function often call for prompt and aggressive action. In older patients, cognitive functioning is especially likely to decline during illness or injury. The nurses' assessment of an older adult's cognitive statu...
