ABSTRACT Background The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a cognitive test that is commonly used as part of the evaluation for possible dementia. Objectives To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at various cut points for dementia in people aged 65 years and over in community and primary care settings who had not undergone prior testing for dementia. Search methods We searched the specialised register of the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group, MEDLINE (OvidSP), EMBASE (OvidSP), PsycINFO (OvidSP), LILACS (BIREME), ALOIS, BIOSIS previews (Thomson Reuters Web of Science), and Web of Science Core Collection, including the Science Citation Index and the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Thomson Reuters Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for the detection of dementia in clinically unevaluated people aged 65 and over in community 1 and primary care populations (Review) Copyright © 2016 The Cochrane Collaboration. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Web of Science). We also searched specialised sources of diagnostic test accuracy studies and reviews: MEDION (Universities of Maastricht and Leuven, www.mediondatabase.nl), DARE (Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, via the Cochrane Library), HTA Database (Health Technology Assessment Database, via the Cochrane Library), and ARIF (University of Birmingham, UK, www.arif.bham.ac.uk). We attempted to locate possibly relevant but unpublished data by contacting researchers in this field. We first performed the searches in November 2012 and then fully updated them in May 2014. We did not apply any language or date restrictions to the electronic searches, and we did not use any methodological filters as a method to restrict the search overall. Selection criteria We included studies that compared the 11-item (maximum score 30) MMSE test (at any cut point) in people who had not undergone prior testing versus a commonly accepted clinical reference standard for all-cause dementia and subtypes (Alzheimer disease dementia, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia). Clinical diagnosis included all-cause (unspecified) dementia, as defined by any version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM); International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the Clinical Dementia Rating. Data collection and analysis At least three authors screened all citations.Two authors handled data extraction and quality assessment. We performed meta-analysis using the hierarchical summary receiver-operator curves (HSROC) method and the bivariate method. Main results We retrieved 24,310 citations after removal of duplicates. We reviewed the full text of 317 full-text articles and finally included 70 records, referring to 48 studies, in our synthesis. We were able to perform meta-analysis on 28 studies in the community setting (44 articles)

Background. Diagnostic evaluations of dementia are often performed in primary health care (PHC). Cognitive evaluation requires validated instruments. Objective. Toinvestigate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of Cognistat in a primary care population. Methods. Participants were recruited from 4 PHC centres; 52 had cognitive symptoms and 29 were presumed cognitively healthy. Participants were tested using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Clock Drawing Test (CDT), and Cognistat. Clinical diagnoses, based on independent neuropsychological examination and a medical consensus discussion in secondary care, were used as criteria for diagnostic accuracy analyses. Results. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 0.85, 0.79, 0.85, and 0.79, respectively, for Cognistat; 0.59, 0.91, 0.90, and 0.61 for MMSE; 0.26, 0.88, 0.75, and 0.46 for CDT; 0.70, 0.79, 0.82, and 0.65 for MMSE and CDT combined.

  • Mental Health Assessment (Pdf) 1. a Mental Status Exam (MSE) & Diagnosis Are Completed Annually, but Not at the Same Time As the Rest of the MHA
    Mental Health Assessment (pdf) 1. A Mental Status Exam (MSE) & Diagnosis are completed annually, but not at the same time as the rest of the MHA. For example, the psychiatrist would complete the MSE & Diagnosis on 07/01/10 & the clinician would complete the remaining sections by 09/01/10. The LPHA would review the MSE & the Diagnosis on 09/01/10 & attest that both are accurate & considered part of the 09/01/10 assessment. By 07/01/11 the psychiatrist would review/update the MSE & Diagnosis & by 09/01/11, the clinician would review/update the remaining sections. With the gap between when the MHA was completed & when our psychiatrists completed the MSE & Diagnosis, would we be in compliance if we added a statement above the LPHA signature on the disposition that said, "The most recent Mental Status Exam & Diagnosis were reviewed on the date of the LPHA signature below & were considered to be accurate & considered to be a part of this Mental Health Assessment? We are not asking for an extension to complete these sections, but for the completion of the various sections to occur at different times. Answer: When an individual originally comes in for service, the MHA is completed by agency clinicians within 30 days and signed by the LPHA. The individual is then scheduled with a psychiatrist. As a routine, the psychiatrist does another mental status evaluation. On the schedule of psychiatric visits, the mental status evaluations get updated, but the schedule is different from the MHA updates, so when a MHA update is done, there's a mental status evaluation from a couple of months previous.
