The evidence we reviewed is current to August 2012.
#MOCA SCORE INTERPRETATION WIKI SERIES#
MoCA uses a series of questions to test different aspects of mental functioning. In this review, we wanted to discover whether using a well‐established cognitive test, MoCA, could accurately detect dementia when compared to a gold standard diagnostic test. We reviewed the evidence about the accuracy of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test for diagnosing dementia and its subtypes.ĭementia is a common condition in older people, with at least 7% of people over 65 years old in the UK affected, and numbers are increasing worldwide. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias We also searched for relevant grey literature from the Web of Science Core Collection, including Science Citation Index and Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Thomson Reuters Web of Science), PhD theses and contacted researchers with potential relevant data. We identified further relevant studies from the PubMed ‘related articles’ feature and by tracking key studies in Science Citation Index and Scopus.
We also searched ALOIS (Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group specialized register of diagnostic and intervention studies). In addition, we searched specialised sources containing diagnostic studies and reviews, including MEDION (Meta‐analyses van Diagnostisch Onderzoek), DARE (Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects), HTA (Health Technology Assessment Database), ARIF (Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility) and C‐EBLM (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Committee for Evidence‐based Laboratory Medicine) databases. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS Previews, Science Citation Index, PsycINFO and LILACS databases to August 2012.
