OBJECTIVES To assess the sensitivity and specificity of a screening battery for detecting cognitive impairment after stroke. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. METHODS Stroke patients were recruited from hospitals in three centres. Patients were screened for cognitive impairment on the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Sheffield Screening Test for Acquired Language Disorders and Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices and received a further battery of assessments of cognitive function…

Evaluation of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) for sensitivity and specificity in screening for cognitive impairment following stroke : a pilot study

It was tentatively concluded that the RBANS demonstrated acceptable diagnostic validity, though problems were highlighted with the Attention index and the use of a test of visual memory within the full battery that placed a heavy burden on motor skills.

Screening for cognitive impairment after stroke: A systematic review of psychometric properties and clinical utility.

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is the most valid and clinically feasible screening tool to identify stroke survivors with a wide range of cognitive impairments who warrant further assessment.

A Comparison of Different Cognitive Screening Instruments on Early Detection of Mild Cognitive Impairments in Post-Stroke Patients .

The proportion of MCI identified in post-stroke patients was higher when using ACE-R and the MoCA in comparison to the MMSE, and the ACE- R and The MoCA are recommended as an alternative in the early detection ofMCI inPost- stroke patients.

How predictive is the MMSE for cognitive performance after stroke?

The results indicated that the MMSE has modest qualities in screening for mild cognitive disturbances and is adequate in screening in stroke patients 1 month after stroke, and cannot be used to predict further cognitive deterioration or improvement over time.

The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS): validation of a stroke-specific short cognitive screening tool.

There is currently no existing freely available short screen for cognitive problems that targets stroke survivors specifically. We have developed a short cognitive screen, the Oxford Cognitive Screen…

Restrictions of the Mini-Mental State Examination in acute stroke.

The validity of brief screening cognitive instruments in the diagnosis of cognitive impairment and dementia after first-ever stroke

The S-MMSE and the IQCODE were individually poor at detecting CIND and dementia after a nonaphasic first-ever stroke and the combination was useful in detecting dementia but it does not replace the need for detailed neuropsychological tests.

Restrictions of the Mini-Mental State Examination in acute stroke

The Mini-Mental State Examination is particularly insensitive to impairments in abstract reasoning, executive functioning, and visual perception/construction, and the optimum MMSE cut-off value could be identified.

Test Accuracy of Short Screening Tests for Diagnosis of Delirium or Cognitive Impairment in an Acute Stroke Unit Setting

The primary analysis suggests that 4AT is a reasonable choice for delirium and cognitive screening in this setting, however, these data are based on standard MoCA diagnostic threshold and may not be suited for an acute stroke population.

Validation of a New Cognitive Screening Method for Stroke Patients

This study shows promising results for this new cognitive screening tool's ability to identify poststroke cognitive decline and patients' need for further detailed neuropsychological examination.

Evaluation of cognitive assessment in stroke rehabilitation

The provision of information about cognitive assessment in stroke rehabilitation may decrease carer strain, and there was a trend for the assessment group to have lower levels of carere strain.

Brief cognitive screening of the elderly: a comparison of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) and Mental Status Questionnaire (MSQ).

Age, social class, sensitivity of hearing and history of stroke were also significantly correlated with cognitive test scores, and years of full time education and depression only affected the longer MMSE and CAMCOG.

The Rey Figure Copy as a Screening Instrument for Perceptual Deficits after Stroke

The Rey figure may be used as a brief screening assessment for perceptual deficits following stroke, and in 61 patients assessed consecutively on both tests the Rey figure copy was impaired in 31 out of 32 patients who were impaired on the RPAB.

Recovery of cognitive function after stroke.

Long-term improvement in generalized cognitive function may be evident after stroke in association with left hemisphere infarction and severe hemispheral syndromes, while it may be compromised by diabetes, possibly because of an increased burden of cerebrovascular disease.

A short screening instrument for poststroke dementia : the R-CAMCOG.

The R-CAMCOG is a promising, short, and easy-to-administer screening instrument for poststroke dementia and seems to be sufficiently accurate for this purpose, but the test has yet to be validated in a separate, independent study.

Prevalence of dementia in a Norwegian sample aged 75 years and over and living at home.

The prevalence of dementia in the age group 75 and over was studied in a random sample of elderly living at home and its occurrence was found to be unrelated to gender, marital status, domestic status, and duration of schooling.
