This study examined the accuracy of the Clock Drawing Test--Modified and Integrated Approach (CDT-MIA) alone and combined with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to detect Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in patients with suspected MCI. For comparison, the accuracy of the Cambridge Cognitive Examination-Revised (CAMCOG-R) was tested. A total of 65 elderly outpatients with suspected MCI underwent a comprehensive evaluation. Following assessment, the entire sample was classified into: dementia (mild)--24 participants, MCI--22 participants, no cognitive impairment (NCI)--19 participants. CDT-MIA and the MMSE alone failed to appropriately discriminate demented from nondemented (MCI and NCI) and MCI from NCI. The best acceptable diagnostic accuracy to discriminate between demented and nondemented was obtained with CDT-MIA/MMSE combined and with CAMCOG-R. CDT-MIA/MMSE combined failed to appropriately discriminate MCI from NCI. The best diagnostic accuracy in this regard was obtained with CAMCOG-R.

“…All participants were communitydwelling older adults recruited from two memory clinics in an urban community in central Israel between April 2015 and April 2017. All participants underwent a multi-disciplinary assessment process described elsewhere (Heinik et al, 2008). The eligibility criteria included being age 60 or older, having no evidence of DSM-IV-TR dementia (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) on clinical assessment, having no major psychiatric disorder, and having no severe sensory (sight, hearing) impairment.…”

Objectives:To examine whether emotional intelligence (EI) is associated with cognitive function (CF) in a sample of community-dwelling, non-demented elderly out-patients.Design:Correlational cross-sectional study.Setting:Two memory clinics in an urban community in central Israel.Participants:Individuals age 60 and older without dementia, recruited from two memory clinics (N = 151).Measurements:Health history was obtained from medical charts. All participants underwent tests measuring CF, basic and instrumental function, general mental ability (GMA), EI, and depression.Results:Mean age of the participants was 79 years (SD = 7.00) with 96 females (63.6%). Mean score for Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was 21.62 (SD = 3.09) and for EI was 14.08 (SD = 3.30). Linear multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine associations of CF with EI while controlling for gender, age, education, GMA, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Age, education, GMA, and CCI were significant correlates of CF and accounted for 31.1% of the variance [F(7,143) = 10.8, p<0.01] in CF. EI was added in the second block and was the factor most strongly associated with CF, explaining an additional 9.1% (a total of 40.2%) of the variance in CF [F(8,142) = 13.2, p<0.01].Conclusion:This study is the first to show the association between EI and CF in older adults. Future prospective studies are needed to explicate the possibility of EI as a protective factor against cognitive decline.
