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
Background: Up to 70% of stroke patients experience cognitive impairment in at least one cognitive domain. Guidelines currently recommend that stroke patients be screened as soon as is reasonably…
Screening for cognitive impairment after stroke: A systematic review of psychometric properties and clinical utility.
TLDR
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.

Strokes pathology creating negative effects on brain structure producing both physical and cognitive impairments, the recovery of both are time sensitive. Early detection of cognitive impairment (CI)…
The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) for post-stroke cognitive impairment screening
Aims: Clinical guidelines recommend stroke patients are routinely screened for cognitive impairment. The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) was evaluated for…
Is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Superior to the Mini-Mental State Examination to Detect Poststroke Cognitive Impairment?: A Study With Neuropsychological Evaluation
TLDR
The previously reported high sensitivity of MoCA is associated with low specificity and both screening tests are moderately sensitive to acute poststroke cognitive impairment.
How predictive is the MMSE for cognitive performance after stroke?
TLDR
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.
TLDR
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.
The validity of brief screening cognitive instruments in the diagnosis of cognitive impairment and dementia after first-ever stroke
TLDR
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.
Test Accuracy of Short Screening Tests for Diagnosis of Delirium or Cognitive Impairment in an Acute Stroke Unit Setting
TLDR
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.

Evaluation of cognitive assessment in stroke rehabilitation
TLDR
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).
TLDR
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 aim of the study was to investigate the use of the Rey figure for screening patients for perceptual impairment following stroke. Stroke patients in a trial of a stroke unit were assessed using…
"Mini-mental state". A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician.
TLDR
A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
Recovery of cognitive function after stroke.
TLDR
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.
TLDR
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.

The Adult Memory and Information Processing Battery (AMIPB) test of information-processing speed: a study of its reliability and feasibility in patients with multiple sclerosis
TLDR
The AMIPB used over 120 seconds with verbal responses is a reliable and reasonable test for major information-processing deficits, and is closely correlated with the Barthel ADL Index.
Estimation of verbal intelligence in an elderly community: a prediction analysis using a shortened NART.
TLDR
The possibility of administering only a part of the National Adult Reading Test-NART, a regression equation has been developed to predict performance on the second half of the test, and results were highly significantly correlated with the actual NART score for all groups.
Psycholinguistic assessments of language processing in aphasia (PALPA)
TLDR
Intended both as a clinical instrument and research tool, PALPA is a set of resource materials enabling the user to select language tasks that can be tailored to the investigation of an individual patient's impaired and intact abilities.
