Abstract:
Objectives: This study was aimed to assess the usefulness of the quantitative assessment of clock
drawing test (CDT) combined with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) compared to that
of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) or the MMSE alone for screening of dementia in
Parkinson disease (PD) in patients with a low educational level. Methods: A representative sample of
91 PD patients was administered MMSE, MoCA and CDT. The discriminative validity of the MMSE,
MoCA, and a MMSE+CDT combination for dementia screening was determined by estimating the
sensitivity and specificity of each test and by testing integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).
Results: The mean age and educational years were 69.0 (years) and 7.3 in the study population. The
best screening cut-off points for the MMSE, MoCA, and MMSE+CDT were 25/26, 21/22 and 41/42.
In a group of patients with educational years ≤6,
