Although one test cannot be replaced for the other, the CDT is a simple test that can be used for fast initial screening of cognitive performance among the elderly. Also the older adults’ performance on MMSE and CDT were significantly related to their level of education and gender, but not age.Ĭonclusion: The correlation between the MMSE and CDT test scores was high. The Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination is still the best among the three tests despite the longer time to completion. The measure is clinician-administered and takes approximately 7 minutes to complete. However, it lacks sensitivity for the diagnosis of early or mild dementia. Key Descriptions The SLUMS is a 30-point, 11 question screening questionnaire that tests orientation, memory, attention, and executive function, with items such as animal naming, digit span, figure recognition, clock drawing and size differentiation. It is a reliable screening tool for cognitive dysfunction, particularly for dementia. Appearance Your examiner will look to see if you look your age. The Clock-Drawing Test (CDT) is a simple and effective cognitive test used to assess executive function and visual-spatial function. In this test, the examiner will observe your appearance, orientation, attention span, memory, language skills, and judgment skills. Results: Results showed a significant correlation between CDT and MMSE total score. The main type of mental status test used is the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), also known as the Folstein Mini Mental State Exam. Mann–Whitney U test and Spearman correlation were used for analyzing the data. People with executive cognitive dysfunction can have a normal Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score but still have severe functional limitations. Methods: A total of 70 older adults (mean(SD) age=69.70(6.41) y) were selected by convenience sampling method from two local health centers from the same civil servant area in Mashhad City, Iran. The present research aimed to examine the correspondence between MMSE and CDT scores. Comparison of clock drawing with Mini-Mental State Examination as a screening test in elderly acute hospital admissions. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. Objective: Mini-mental state examination, a nonspecific measure of global cognitive function, and the clock drawing test, a very concise and specific measure of cognitive function, are among the most widely used screening tests for cognitive dysfunction. Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.
