Abstract:
Objective To examine the use of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale for prediction of cognitive outcome.Methods Data from 286 elderly patients who had performed cognitive assessment twice or more were obtained retrospectively,and divided into Normal Control (NC),Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia groups according to their baseline performance.The correlations between each item scores of MoCA and total score change at follow up were compared within groups.Results Total score change was significantly correlated to the MMSE,cube,attention and subtraction in NC group;visuospatial/executive,clock-hands and digit-backward in MCI group;and abstraction in dementia group.Conclusion Cognitive prognosis is influenced by the course of disease,interventions,learning effect and regression to the mean.Executive function decline can be considered as the early sign of Alzheimer’s disease.
