Comparison of the Short Test of Mental Status and the Mini-Mental State Examination in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Abstract

Compared with the MMSE, the STMS was better able to document MCI and was more sensitive in detecting deficits in cognition in individuals who had normal cognition at baseline but later developed incident MCI or Alzheimer disease.

Montreal Cognitive Assessment Is Superior to Standardized Mini-Mental Status Exam in Detecting Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Middle-Aged and Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

“…In this study, SMMSE was not sensitive for identifying early cognitive changes associated with MCI, which was also shown in another study by Tang-Wai et al [15]. To our knowledge, this is the first study that has compared the usefulness of MoCA with SMMSE in screening for MCI, in middle-aged and elderly people with type 2 DM.…”

CERAD test performances in amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

“…The MMSE has been shown to have an excellent specificity, but its sensitivity to clinically diagnosed probable AD has been found to be relatively low (0.65) (44)(45)(46). Its sensitivity to preclinical/incipient AD has in recent studies shown to be even lower (0.35) (47,48). In our study there were no significant differences in MMSE scores between the MCI patients and the controls.…”
