Overall, MoCA is more sensitive than MMSE in detecting cognitive impairment in atypical parkinsonism and together with verbal fluency would be a useful test to support PSP diagnosis.Īarsland D, Litvan I, Salmon D, Galasko D, Wentzel-Larsen T, Larsen JP (2003) Performance on the dementia rating scale in Parkinson’s disease with dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies: comparison with progressive supranuclear palsy and Alzheimer’s disease. These preliminary results suggest that PSP and MSA, similar to PD patients, may present normal MMSE and reduced MoCA performance. By contrast, MMSE presented an overall ceiling effect for most subitems, except for the pentagon scores, where PSP did less well than MSA or PD patients. MSA: 71 % specificity, 70 % sensitivity). PD: 86 % specificity, 70 % sensitivity PSP vs. More specifically, a cut-off score of 7 F-words or less per minute would support a diagnosis of PSP (PSP vs. MoCA total score as well as its letter fluency subitem differentiated PSP from MSA and PD with high specificity and moderate sensitivity. The mean MMSE was higher than the mean MoCA score in each MSA (27.7 ± 2.4 vs. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated. We assessed between-group differences for MMSE, MoCA, and their subitems. In this multicenter observational study, MMSE and MoCA were administered in a random order to 130 patients: 35 MSA, 30 PSP and 65 age, and education and gender matched-PD. ![]() To determine if Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is more sensitive than the commonly used Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in detecting cognitive abnormalities in patients with probable progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) compared with Parkinson’s disease (PD). ![]()
