The sensitivity of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was assessed in a sample of patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type or vascular dementia. The MMSE identified the majority of pts with diffuse cognitive impairment but did not discriminate between the two types of dementia. If failed to detect mild deterioration or forms in which only some cognitive functions were impaired. The test is therefore not sufficient for distinguishing deteriorated from non deteriorated pts, although it is still useful in mass screening or for a quick assessment of deterioration in the course of clinical neurological examination.
在一组阿尔茨海默型痴呆或血管性痴呆患者样本中评估了简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)的敏感性。MMSE识别出了大多数患有弥漫性认知障碍的患者,但无法区分这两种类型的痴呆。它未能检测到轻度衰退或仅某些认知功能受损的形式。因此,该测试不足以区分已衰退和未衰退的患者,尽管它在大规模筛查或临床神经学检查过程中对快速评估衰退情况仍有用处。
