Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to gather information on the relationship between judgement/reasoning and global mental status (HC = healthy controls, MCI = Mild Cognitive Impairment, and MND = Major Neurocognitive Disorder) by examining the relationship between performance on the Test of Practical Judgment (TOP-J) and mental status screening in a Veteran population. Method The retrospective data sample consisted of 218 Veterans, aged 28–96 (M = 69.67, SD = 12.9434), 95.87% male, 98.62% Caucasian, with a mean education of 12.55 years (SD = 2.32). Mental status screening consisted of the raw scores of Mini-Mental Status Examination-2nd edition (MMSE-2) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS, using MMSE equivalent scores). Participants were placed into three categories based on mental status scores: HC (n = 79), MCI (n = 75), and MND (n = 64). TOP-J scores consisted of raw score across 9 items. Results TOPJ and mental status were mildly correlated for HC (r = .27) and MND (r = 0.34); however, there was minimal correlation for Veterans identified as MCI (r = 0.18). Conclusion A relationship between judgement/reasoning and global mental status was remarkable for HC and MNC but not for MCI. This may be related to the fact that deficits in judgement/reasoning, by definition, tend to be subtle or non-existent for individuals with MCI. Additionally, studies have revealed the MMSE-2 and TOP-J both have limited specificity in accurately identifying MCI patients.

AbstractOne-hundred fifty-eight elderly Spanish-speaking U.S. residents (81 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and 77 subjects without dementia) were tested with Spanish-language versions of four brief cognitive assessment instruments: the Mini-Mental State Examination (S-MMSE), the Mental Status Questionnaire (S-MSQ), the Information-Memory-Concentration test (S-IMC), and the Orientation-Memory-Conccntration test (S-OMC). Within-group performances were highly correlated for all four instruments. All tests distinguished between the demented and nondemented groups, but best discrimination was achieved with the S-IMC, which correctly classified 98% of subjects. This version was also the best predictor of functional disability, as measured by impairments in instrumental activities of daily living. Within the normal comparison group, neither gender nor a subject's monolingual/bilingual status affected test performance. These four Spanish-language cognitive screening tasks may aid in the evaluation of dementia among Spanish-speaking patients. (J1NS, 1996, 2, 286–298.)

SynopsisOne hundred and fifty unselected elderly community subjects were assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) and Mental Status Questionnaire (MSQ). The effects on cognitive test scores of potential confounding (non-cognitive) variables were evaluated. Sensitivities and specificities were: MMSE 80% and 98%; AMT 77% and 90%; and MSQ 70% and 89%. The MMSE identified significantly fewer false positives than the AMT and MSQ. The major effect of intelligence on cognitive test scores has previously been underestimated. Age, social class, sensitivity of hearing and history of stroke were also significantly correlated with cognitive test scores. Years of full time education and depression only affected the longer MMSE and CAMCOG. The MMSE (cut-off 20/21) can be recommended for routine screening. However, as scores are affected by variables other than cognitive function, particularly intelligence, further assessment of identified cases may fail to reveal significant functional impairment.

Zusammenfassung Standardassessment Bei älteren Patienten sind Alltagskompetenz und Selbsthilfefähigkeit in besonderem Maße durch eine Verminderung kognitiver Fähigkeiten bedroht. Zur Verhinderung von Abhängigkeit und Pflegebedürftigkeit ist die Abklärung der kognitiven Leistungsfähigkeit von essenzieller Bedeutung. Im Rahmen einer geriatrischen Komplexbehandlung gehört der MMST (oder Mini Mental State Examination, MMSE) nach Folstein mittlerweile zu den Standardassessments. Der MMST ist das am häufigsten angewandte Screeningverfahren für kognitive Defizite.
