In such situations, subtest and domain norms allow for evaluation of completed subtests. First, sensory and cognitive impairments make many of the oldest-old unable to complete all subtests of in-person screening measures, which makes calculation of the total score and its comparison to normative values impossible. However, cognitive testing of this age group is challenging. The equivalences of the three cognitive tests (MMSE, MoCA-30, MoCA-22) in the oldest-old will facilitate continuity of cognitive tracking of individuals tested with different tests over time and comparison of the studies that use different cognitive tests.Ĭognitive screening of the oldest-old (age 90 +) has become increasingly important, because this age group has the highest risk of dementia and its projected growth in the coming decades is rapid. Subtest, domain and MoCA-22 norms will aid in evaluation of the oldest-old who cannot complete the MoCA-30 or are tested over the phone. An MMSE score of 27 is equivalent to a MoCA-30 score of 22 and a MoCA-22 score of 16. MoCA-22 total score norms are: mean = 18.3(standard deviation = 2.2). Second, we derived score equivalences for MMSE to MoCA-30 and MoCA-22, and MoCA-30 to MoCA-22 using equipercentile equating method with log-linear smoothing, based on all 157 participants. These norms were derived from 124 participants with a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) ≥ 27. First, we derived norms for (1) subtests and cognitive domains of the in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment having a maximum score of 30 (MoCA-30) and (2) the total MoCA-22 score, obtained from the in-person MoCA-30 by summing the subtests that do not require visual input to a maximum score of 22. Methodsĭata on 157 participants of the Center for Healthy Aging Longevity Study aged 90 + were analyzed. To provide norms and score equivalence for commonly used cognitive screening tests for the oldest-old. However, norms and score equivalence for screening tests are lacking for this group. This age group is the fastest growing and has the highest risk of dementia.
Though straightforward the MRI is interesting, I got a little anxious (surprised me, as I am not normally anxious).Cognitive screening is important for the oldest-old (age 90 +). I'm at the same place you are at the moment, I'm more than happy to share, hope it goes well. It might not come to that, but you don't know until you are told for sure. I want to make plans with my partner for the future, I want her to be secure. However there are also other things M.E, and MS (you can get MS symptoms Neurologically before physical sometimes).Īt this stage the hardest thing is not knowing, the speculation is worse. I'm also hoping for MCI, it would be the preferred option, there isn't much else that offers a better outcome, at least with MCI there is a chance it won't progress to Dementia. Some perception issues - not recognising familiar places and once home (though these are short lived and I can get back) Some coordination and balance issues (seconds only)
I don't have a huge issue with memory, it is the other aspects of cognition that are troubling. I'm going through similar, I had my MRI just before Christmas and waiting for the Neurology appt. I’m also in process of selling my business as I just can’t concentrate properly and everything is taking me twice as long to do in the office ?♀️ I’d love to hear from anyone else with this diagnosis (Altho I realise it isn’t my diagnosis until I’ve had the scan and face to face consultation) cx I have also woke up confused a couple of times. I’m currently not driving as I can’t trust my concentration and I’ve had a couple of times I can’t recognise where I am even tho I’m in a familiar place. I wondered if anyone on here had a similar score and what it meant for them.
#MOCA BLIND TEST SCORING FULL#
I of course immediately googled it and I think it indicates a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment which will be a relief as I think I can improve with lifestyle changes (less stress) and does not always lead to full blown dementia. In the letter it says I scored 3.75 on the ‘Short IQCODE’ and 18/22 on the remote MoCa. Hi I have an mri of head due this Saturday and have just got copy of the clinic letter after my initial telephone assessment.
