Detection and Differentiation of Frontotemporal XXXX and @entity74 From @entity195 Using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

@entity1 @entity303 @entity73 @entity74 @entity195 @entity4943
UNASSIGNED: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a cognitive screening tool used by practitioners worldwide. The efficacy of the MoCA for screening @entity4943 ( @entity4943 ) and @entity74 is unknown. The objectives were: (1) to determine whether the MoCA detects @entity73 ( @entity73 ) in @entity4943 subjects; (2) to determine whether @entity195 ( @entity195 ) and @entity4943 subtypes and @entity74 can be parsed using the MoCA; and (3) describe longitudinal MoCA performance by subtype. We extracted demographic and testing data from a database of @entity1 referred to a cognitive neurology clinic who met criteria for probable @entity195 or @entity4943 (N=192). Logistic regression was used to determine whether @entity303 subtypes were associated with overall scores, subscores, or combinations of subscores on the MoCA. Initial MoCA results demonstrated @entity73 in the majority of @entity4943 subjects (87%). @entity4943 subjects (N=94) performed better than @entity195 subjects (N=98) on the MoCA (mean scores: 18.1 vs. 16.3; P=0.02). Subscores parsed many, but not all subtypes. @entity4943 subjects had a larger decline on the MoCA within 13 to 36 months than @entity195 subjects (P=0.02). The results indicate that the MoCA is a useful tool to identify and track progression of @entity73 in @entity4943 . Further, the data informs future research on scoring models for the MoCA to enhance cognitive screening and detection of @entity4943 @entity1 .
