Background

This study aimed at: (1) assessing, in an Italian cohort of non-demented Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, the construct validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) against both first- and second-level cognitive measures; (2) delivering an exhaustive and updated evaluation of its diagnostic properties.

Methods

A retrospective cohort of N = 237 non-demented PD patients having been administered the MoCA was addressed, of whom N = 169 further underwent the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and N = 68 the Parkinson’s Disease Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS). A subsample (N = 60) also underwent a second-level cognitive battery encompassing measures of attention/executive functioning, language, memory, praxis and visuo-spatial abilities. Construct validity was assessed against both the PD-CRS and the second-level cognitive battery. Diagnostics were tested via receiver-operating characteristics analyses against a below-cut-off MMSE score.

Results

The MoCA was associated with both PD-CRS scores (p < .001) and the vast majority of second-level cognitive measures (ps < .003). Both raw and adjusted MoCA scores proved to be highly accurate to the aim of identifying patients with MMSE-confirmed cognitive dysfunctions. A MoCA score adjusted for age and education according to the most recent normative dataset and < 19.015 is herewith suggested as indexing cognitive impairment in this population (AUC = .92; sensitivity = .92; specificity = .80).

Discussion

The Italian MoCA is a valid and diagnostically sound screener for global cognitive inefficiency in non-demented PD patients. Further studies are nevertheless needed that confirm its diagnostic values against a measure other than the MMSE.

意大利版蒙特利尔认知评估 (MoCA) 在非痴呆帕金森病患者中的有效性和诊断

背景

本研究的目的是:(1)在意大利非痴呆帕金森病(PD)患者队列中评估蒙特利尔认知评估(MoCA)针对一级和二级认知测量的结构有效性;(2)对其诊断特性进行详尽且最新的评估。

方法

对接受 MoCA 治疗的N  = 237 名非痴呆帕金森病患者进行回顾性队列研究,其中N  = 169 名进一步接受简易精神状态检查 (MMSE),N  = 68 名接受帕金森病认知评定量表 (PD-CRS) )。子样本(N  = 60)还接受了二级认知测试,包括注意力/执行功能、语言、记忆、实践和视觉空间能力的测量。根据 PD-CRS 和二级认知电池评估结构有效性。通过针对低于截止值的 MMSE 评分进行接收者操作特征分析来测试诊断结果。

结果

MoCA 与 PD-CRS 评分 ( p  < .001) 和绝大多数二级认知测量 ( p s < .003)相关。事实证明,原始 MoCA 评分和调整后的 MoCA 评分对于识别 MMSE 确认的认知功能障碍患者的目的都非常准确。根据最新规范数据集根据年龄和教育程度调整 MoCA 评分,并且 < 19.015 在此建议作为该人群认知障碍的索引(AUC = .92;敏感性 = .92;特异性 = .80)。

讨论

意大利 MoCA 是针对非痴呆 PD 患者整体认知低效的有效且诊断合理的筛查工具。然而,还需要进一步的研究来确认其相对于 MMSE 以外的衡量标准的诊断价值。
