We develop a crosswalk between the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS)-27, TICS-30, and TICS-40 for adults 65 years and older.
We examined the scores of 1809 participants, with and without cognitive impairment, who completed the MMSE and the TICS assessment in the 2016 Health and Retirement Study and the 2016 Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol study. Crosswalks between MMSE and TICS-27/30/40 were developed via equipercentile equating.
We present crosswalks for MMSE and TICS-27/30/40 for the 65+ population representative of the US elderly. While monotonic, the pattern of the TICS-30 to MMSE crosswalk differs from the other two crosswalks (MMSE to TICS-27/40).
Our analysis offers an empirical crosswalk between two commonly used cognitive measures-the MMSE and TICS. Our findings suggest the need for validated and robust measures that allow for the comparison of scores on different cognitive scales.
我们开发了一个适用于 65 岁及以上成年人的简易精神状态检查(MMSE)与电话认知状态测试(TICS)-27、TICS-30 和 TICS-40 之间的转换表。
我们研究了在 2016 年健康与退休研究和 2016 年协调认知评估方案研究中,完成了 MMSE 和 TICS 评估的 1809 名认知障碍患者和非认知障碍患者的得分。通过等百分位等距法开发了 MMSE 和 TICS-27/30/40 之间的转换表。
我们提出了适用于代表美国老年人的 65 岁以上人群的 MMSE 和 TICS-27/30/40 转换表。虽然单调,但 TICS-30 到 MMSE 转换表的模式与其他两个转换表(MMSE 到 TICS-27/40)不同。
我们的分析提供了两种常用认知测量工具——简易精神状态检查和电话认知状态测试之间的经验转换表。我们的研究结果表明,需要使用经过验证和可靠的方法来比较不同认知量表的分数。
