Summary: This study examined normative scores for the third Norwegian version of the MMSE and found that age and years of education influenced MMSE scores, with education being the strongest predictor.

Summary: This study confirms that cognitive impairment (CI) is a marker of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk in Chinese older adults, independently of other commonly assessed risk factors. The study also found that some sub-domains of the Mini-Mental State Examination may have stronger associations with mortality.

Summary: The study found that post-stroke cognitive impairment on the MMSE is primarily related to infarct locations in the left middle cerebral artery territory. The MMSE appears to be less sensitive to cognitive deficits specifically related to other locations.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and validate a conversion table between MMSE and MoCA using Rasch analysis in older adults undergoing selective surgery, and examine its diagnostic accuracy in detecting cognitive impairment. The results showed that MoCA was better targeted to the patients and conversion from MoCA to MMSE demonstrated better precision and diagnostic accuracy compared to the opposite conversion.

Summary: Cognitive impairment, reduced MMSE scores, and impaired MMSE domains are associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese elderly individuals.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between plasma biomarkers and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, finding that alpha-synuclein/A beta 40 and other biomarkers are highly predictive of cognitive impairment and strongly correlated with MMSE score in PD patients compared to controls.

Summary: The study found that Chinese herbs have a positive impact on MMSE scores in MCI patients, especially when used in conjunction with other medications to significantly improve cognition. However, there are some methodological flaws in current research.

Summary: A modified Chinese version of Mini-Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (C-MACE) was developed and showed good classification accuracy in detecting MCI. C-MACE performed best in identifying MCI in older individuals with lower education levels.

Summary: The review included studies focusing on the conversion from MCI to all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease dementia, and vascular dementia. Baseline MMSE scores had a range of accuracy in predicting dementia, but alone cannot determine the direction of progression for MCI patients.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy of MMSE and MoCA as cognitive monitoring tools and the correlation between the two tests. The results show that MMSE and MoCA are comparable for monitoring cognitive changes and have a moderate correlation for follow-up visits.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Cognitive Composition Test (CCT) for early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results showed that CCT-C had higher discrimination sensitivity than TMT-A, TMT-B, CCT-A, and CCT-B, making it a potentially useful tool for early diagnosis of MCI.

Summary: The Italian telephone-based Mini-Mental State Examination (Itel-MMSE) has ceiling effects that negatively impact its interpretation. This study used Item Response Theory (IRT) to analyze Itel-MMSE and found that it is most informative in low-performing healthy individuals, especially in attention and spatial orientation.

Summary: The study examines the relationship between language components and MMSE scores, finding that participants with higher MMSE scores have higher lexical density, longer speeches, and more tokens related to Time, Space and Action. These findings have potential significance in the screening of MCI.

Summary: Currently, there is a significant number of elderly patients in the Emergency Department. Due to busy schedules, complete cognitive analysis is not feasible but would be beneficial. This study aimed to determine the optimal cut-off values of the six-item Cognitive Impairment Test (6-CIT) as a cognitive screening tool in the ED. The results showed that 6-CIT has excellent sensitivity and specificity in cognitive screening in the ED, with a cut-off score of 8/9.
