Dementia is an important and increasingly recognized problem in Parkinson's disease (PD). The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) often fails to detect early cognitive decline. The Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) is a brief tool developed to detect mild cognitive impairment that assesses a broader range of domains frequently affected in PD. The scores on the MMSE and the MoCA were compared in 88 patients with PD. A pronounced ceiling effect was observed with the MMSE but not with the MoCA. The range and standard deviation of scores was larger with the MoCA(7-30, 4.26) than with the MMSE(16-30, 2.55). The percentage of subjects scoring below a cutoff of 26/30 (used by others to detect mild cognitive impairment) was higher on the MoCA (32%) than on the MMSE (11%) (P < 0.000002). Compared to the MMSE, the MoCA may be a more sensitive tool to identify early cognitive impairment in PD.
痴呆是帕金森病(PD)中一个重要且日益受到重视的问题。简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)常常无法检测出早期认知衰退。蒙特利尔认知评估量表(MoCA)是一种为检测轻度认知障碍而开发的简短工具,它评估了帕金森病中经常受到影响的更广泛领域。对88例帕金森病患者的MMSE和MoCA得分进行了比较。MMSE观察到明显的天花板效应,而MoCA则未观察到。MoCA得分的范围和标准差(7 - 30,4.26)比MMSE(16 - 30,2.55)更大。MoCA上得分低于26/30临界值(其他人用于检测轻度认知障碍)的受试者百分比(32%)高于MMSE(11%)(P < 0.000002)。与MMSE相比,MoCA可能是识别帕金森病早期认知障碍更敏感的工具。
