          Abstract

          INTRODUCTION

          To provide a cross-walk between the recently proposed short MoCA (s-MoCA) and MMSE within a clinical cohort.

          METHOD

          791 participants, with and without neurological conditions, received both the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at the same visit. s-MoCA scores were calculated and equipercentile equating was used to create a cross-walk between the s-MoCA and MMSE

          RESULTS

          As expected, s-MoCA scores were highly correlated (Pearson r=0.82, p<0.001) with MMSE scores. s-MoCA scores correctly classified 85% of healthy older adults and 91% of individuals with neurological conditions that impair cognition. In addition, we provide an easy to use table that enables the conversion of s-MoCA score to MMSE scores.

          DISCUSSION

          The s-MoCA is quick to administer, provides high sensitivity and specificity for cognitive impairment, and now can be compared directly to the MMSE.
