Background and Purpose: We determined the diagnostic accuracy of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for poststroke neurocognitive disorder defined according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, criteria in a prospective observational study. Methods: Consecutive participants able to complete a cognitive test battery and MoCA 3 months poststroke were included. The reference standard of neurocognitive disorder was defined as a score of ≥1.5 SD below the normative mean in ≥1 cognitive domain on the cognitive test battery. Results: Among 521 participants (43.6% women; mean age/SD, 71.5/12.0 years; mean education/SD, 12.4/3.8 years), the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of MoCA for neurocognitive disorder was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.76–0.84). Using the standard MoCA cutoff <26, sensitivity was 0.71 (0.69–0.79) with specificity of 0.73 (0.66–0.76). MoCA cutoff of <27 gave higher sensitivity (0.82 [0.77–0.85]) at the expense of specificity (0.60 [0.53–0.66]). Discussion: MoCA has reasonable accuracy for poststroke neurocognitive disorder diagnosed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, criteria.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a sensitive screening instrument for mild neurocognitive disorder (mild NCD). However, cut-off scores and accuracy indices should be established using representative samples of the population. In this context, the aim of this study was to update the normative values, and diagnostic efficiency statistics of the MoCA to detect mild NCD in the Chilean population. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This study included 226 participants from the north, center, and south of the country, classified into 3 groups: healthy elderly (HE; <i>n</i> = 113), mild NCD (<i>n</i> = 65), and major neurocognitive disorder (major NCD; <i>n</i> = 48). <b><i>Results:</i></b> The optimal cut-off score to discriminate mild NCD from HE participants was 20 points with a sensitivity of 82.8% and a specificity of 84.1%. The observed balance between sensitivity and specificity shows a good test performance either to confirm or discard a diagnosis. The cut-off between mild NCD and major NCD from HE participants was 19 points with 85.6% of sensitivity and 90.3% of specificity. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Overall diagnostic accuracy can be considered as outstanding (AUC ≥0.904) when discriminating HE from both mild NCD and major NCD. These results showed that the MoCA is a suitable tool to identify mild NCD and major NCD.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to examine the concurrent validity of 2 Chinese versions of the short version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in patients with stroke, i.e., MoCA 5-minute protocol and National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke and Canadian Stroke Network (NINDS-CSN) 5-minute Protocol. A total of 54 patients and 27 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. In this study, the Neurobehavioural Cognitive Status Examination (NCSE) was used as an external criterion of cognitive impairment. We found that the 5-min protocol did not differ from the MoCA in differentiating patients with cognitive impairments from those without (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, AUC, of 0.948 for the MoCA 5-min protocol v.s. 0.984 for MoCA, P = 0.097). These three assessments demonstrated equal performance in differentiating patients with stroke from controls. The Chinese version of the MoCA 5-min protocol can be used as a valid screening for patients with stroke.
