Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of the Changsha version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) in the assessment of vascular cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction .Methods 112 cases of clinically diagnosed cerebral infarc-tion were selected and divided into the normal cognition (NC) group and vascular cognitive impairment(VCI) group .The Changsha version of MoCA and the mini-mental state examination(MMSE) were adopted to detect the cognitive function ,the correlation of two scales was analyzed and the cutoff values of the Changsha version of MoCA were preliminarily studied .Results The total scores of the Changsha version of MoCA and MMSE in the VCI group were 15 .12 ± 4 .60 and 20 .44 ± 3 .22 respectively ,which were lower than 22 .75 ± 1 .79 and 25 .21 ± 1 .74 in the NC group ,the difference had statistical significance (P< 0 .05);the total scores of the Changsha version of MoCA was positively correlated with the total scores of MMSE (r=0 .84 ,P<0 .01);the best cut-off value of the Changsha version of MoCA was 20/21 ,the sensitivity and specificity were 92% and 95% respectively .Conclusion The Changsha version of MoCA can screen VCI well and has a high screening value ,and its optimal cutoff value is 20/21 .
