Outcomes and MeasuresĬorrect classification and correlation between the Telephone MoCA and full MoCA was evaluated, with area under the curve (AUC) analysis, and Pearson Coefficient respectively. Subjects were recruited in a memory clinic setting. Subjects had to be over 50, male or female, an education level of 6 years. The MoCA-BLIND assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, memory, language, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation. ParticipantsĨ4 consecutive subjects were approached to participate in the study. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)- BLIND is an adapted version of the original MoCA, a rapid screening instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction. The subjects’ performances were compared to results obtained from the full version of the MoCA test, at an average of 50.8 days, prior to having completed the 5 Min Telephone MoCA.
This is a validation study for a 5 minute telephone version of the MoCA. This study validates the use of a telephone version of the MoCA Test, which helps health professionals assess patients remotely.
