Abd Ghafar MZA, et al. - The psychometric properties of brief cognitive screening instruments (CSIs) for vascular mild cognitive impairment (VMCI) and vascular dementia (VaD) were systematically reviewed. Researchers found fifteen relevant studies that involved eight types of CSIs (27 subtests/variants) and 4,575 patients (1,105 with VCI). Five papers examined Clock-drawing, four the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination and three used the Brief Memory and Executive Test. As per data, the MoCA could accurately and reliably differentiate VaD and VMCI from controls.
