Background: Cognitive impairment (CI) is common in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and an important cause of disability. Screening facilitates early detection of CI and has implications for management. Preclinical disability is when patients have functional limitations but maintain independence through compensatory measures. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) with levels of PD severity and disability. Methods: PD patients (n = 2,234) in a large observational study were stratified by disease severity, based on Total Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (Total UPDRS) and Hoehn and Yahr (HY) stage. Using MMSE (n = 1,184) or MoCA (n = 1,050) and basic (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scales for disability, linear regression analysis examined associations between cognitive status and disability. Results: Cognition and disability were highly correlated, with the strongest correlation between IADL and MoCA. Only 16.0% of mean MMSE scores were below threshold for CI (28) and only in advanced PD (Total UPDRS 60+, HY≥3). MoCA scores fell below CI threshold (26) in 66.2% of the sample and earlier in disease (Total UPDRS 30+, HY≥2), corresponding with impairments in ADLs. Conclusion: In a large clinical dataset, a small fraction of MMSE scores fell below cutoff for CI, reinforcing that MMSE is an insensitive screening tool in PD. MoCA scores indicated CI earlier in disease and coincided with disability. This study shows that MoCA, but not MMSE is sensitive to the emergence of early cognitive impairment in PD and correlates with the concomitant onset of disability.

ABSTRACTBackground: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) can be used to quantify cognitive ability in older persons undergoing screening for cognitive impairment. Although highly sensitive in detecting mild cognitive impairment, its measurement precision is weakest among persons with milder forms of impairment. We sought to overcome this limitation by integrating information from the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) into the calculation of cognitive ability.Methods: Data from 185 geriatric outpatients screened for cognitive impairment with the MoCA and the MMSE were Rasch analyzed to evaluate the extent to which the MMSE items improved measurement precision in the upper ability ranges of the population.Results: Adding information from the MMSE resulted in a 13.8% (13.3–14.3%) reduction in measurement error, with significant improvements in all quartiles of patient ability. The addition of three-word repetition and recall, copy pentagons, repeat sentence, and write sentence improved measurement of cognition in the upper levels of ability.Conclusions: The algorithm presented here maximizes the yield of available clinical data while improving measurement of cognitive ability, which is particularly important for tracking changes over time in patients with milder levels of impairment.
