The MoCA is a brief cognitive screening tool with high sensitivity and specificity for detecting MCI as currently conceptualized in patients performing in the normal range on the MMSE. MCI as an entity is evolving and somewhat controversial. Specificity was excellent for both MMSE and MoCA (100% and 87%, respectively). In the mild AD group, the MMSE had a sensitivity of 78%, whereas the MoCA detected 100%. Using a cutoff score 26, the MMSE had a sensitivity of 18% to detect MCI, whereas the MoCA detected 90% of MCI subjects. The MoCA and MMSE were administered to all participants, and sensitivity and specificity of both measures were assessed for detection of MCI and mild AD. Despite its widespread use, norms adjusted to the sociodemographics of Quebec-French people are not yet available. Ninety-four patients meeting MCI clinical criteria supported by psychometric measures, 93 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score > or =17), and 90 healthy elderly controls (NC). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a screening instrument used to assess different aspects of cognition.
