Cognitive tests for dementia: MMSE, Mini-Cog and ACE-R
The way we diagnose and detect dementia, therefore, is by systematically assessing
the function of various brain regions by using cognitive tests.‘Cognitive’ here means
the ‘higher brain functions’ I alluded to earlier; things
like memory, numeracy, visual perception, personality change and planning, to
name a few.
The commonest cognitive test used is called the Mini-Mental State Examination
(MMSE). In this test you can score up to 30 points by answering a range of questions
that test your orientation to time and place, your memory, attention and so on. The
test itself takes about 10 minutes to complete. As the authors of this paper state, the
performance of the MMSE in detecting dementia as compared to other tests has not
been systematically assessed and so, that is what they set out to do. One of the
reasons to assess the relative merits of the MMSE is that it is a proprietary instrument,
owned by ‘Psychological Assessment Resources’ meaning that it is not actually free
for organisations to use.
Methods
The reviewers included studies that:
Looked for patients with either Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia or Parkinson’s
disease in any clinical setting
Assessed patients or carers face-to-face
Used a standardised diagnostic criteria to diagnose dementia
Published the outcome measures they were interested in.
Results
The initial search yielded 26,380 papers! After applying the inclusion/exclusion
criteria they were left with 149 studies, which covered 11 different diagnostic tests
and over 40,000 people from around the world.
MMSE
The vast majority of the studies looked at MMSE (108 of 149)
Sample size was 36,080 of whom 10,263 had dementia
From these studies the:
o Mean sensitivity was 81% (CI was 78% to 84%)
o Mean specificity was 89% (CI was 87% to 91%)
o All other markers also showed good diagnostic accuracy (LR+ = 7.45, LR- =
0.21, diagnostic OR was 35.4 and AUC was 92%)
Mini-Cog and ACE-R (the best of the rest)
Of the 11 remaining tests, two stood out as being ‘better’ than the MMSE
o Mini-Cog (brief test <5 min): sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 86%
o ACE-R (20 min test): sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 89%
However where the MMSE data was drawn from hundreds of studies:
o Mini-Cog data was drawn from just 9 studies
o ACE-R was drawn from just 13 studies
For all three of the above tests, there was found to be a high degree of heterogeneity.
In essence this is a statistical test telling us that between studies included in the
analyses, the results were quite different from one study to another. Heterogeneity is
not a good thing in systematic reviews.
Further analyses
The reviewers showed that the accuracy of the MMSE was not affected by
geographical location or clinical site (i.e. it was as effective for hospital patients as
community patients).
Finally they looked at the accuracy of diagnosing mild cognitive impairment (MCI);
a risk state that precedes dementia. They didn’t really go into much detail in the
methods of how they found the studies or how they defined MCI.
Only 21 studies using MMSE were used to assess diagnostic accuracy for MCI
giving:
o a sensitivity of only 62%
o and a specificity of 87%.
An alternative test, the MoCA, was found to perform better (in 9 studies) with:
o a sensitivity of 89%
o and a specificity of 75%
No data was provided on the other tests presumably because there weren’t enough
studies.
Conclusions
In short, the MMSE is not a bad screening tool for dementia but it is not miles better
than the rest; it’s just really commonly used, probably for historical reasons. The
ACE-R and the Mini-Cog are both free to use and may be viable alternatives.
The MMSE is less good in mild cognitive impairment.
Final thoughts
It’s important to add that whilst this paper focussed on cognitive screening tests,
which play an important part in diagnosis, a full clinical assessment of someone with
suspected dementia requires a much more detailed approach. Combining information
from the history, examination, investigations and cognitive tests greatly improve the
diagnostic accuracy. Also where the screening tests are not clear, patients can be
referred for much more detailed assessments of cognition performed by
neuropsychologists.
Also it is important to remember that the diagnosis of dementia requires evidence of a
progressive illness. This means that repeating cognitive tests and looking for change
is often more helpful than just a snapshot. This aspect was not covered in this
systematic review.
