Why the study?

Does the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) improve the detection of mild cognitive impairment compared to the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) in patients with coronary artery disease?

Structured PICO

Does the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) improve the detection of mild cognitive impairment compared to the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) in patients with coronary artery disease?

P

Population

65 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) admitted at the post-catheter ward due to catheterization, mean age 58.68, 53.3% male, in Qom, Iran. Excluded patients with documented neurocognitive problems, psychotic disorders, renal failure requiring dialysis, untreated sleep apnea, recent MI within last month, or substance abuse.

I

Intervention

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test

C

Comparator

Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) test

O

Outcome

Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and efficacy of MoCA compared to MMSE for detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI)surrogate

Limitations

Small sample size
Results cannot be generalized to the general population
Lack of a control group

Implication

The MoCA test at a cut-off of 25 is highly sensitive and specific for detecting mild cognitive impairment in patients with coronary artery disease, outperforming the MMSE.
