Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between the total MoCA score, MoCA subscales, and number of previous SRC, adjusting for age, sex, sport participation (SP), and concussion modifiers.<jats:italic><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic>Athletes with a history of three or more SRC were 5.36 times more likely to score less than 26\/30 on the MoCA (the cutoff for MCI) compared to athletes with two or less SRC (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.02). Males were 2.23 times more likely to have MCI than females (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.0004). There was a significant relationship between the number of previous concussions and the MoCA subscales of attention (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.05) and abstraction (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.003). Age, SP, and concussion modifiers (migraine, depression, anxiety, and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder) did not influence the relationship between MoCA and previous concussion history.<jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic>In the appropriate clinical context, cognitive screening with the MoCA may benefit clinical care in athletes with multiple previous SRC, but should not replace a full neuropsychological assessment. Thus, further research is needed to compare the MoCA to full neuropsychological assessments in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/cjn.2019.18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]],"date-time":"2019-05-14T11:05:58Z","timestamp":1557831958000},"page":"311-318","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Montreal Cognitive Assessment as a Cognitive Screening Tool in Athletes"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Chantel Teresa","family":"Debert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joan","family":"Stilling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tolulope","family":"Sajobi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Kowalski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian Walter","family":"Benson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keith","family":"Yeates","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sean Peter","family":"Dukelow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref47","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/arclin\/acn001"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2005.53221.x"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JSM.0b013e3181e8f8d8"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546512466038"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-44.4.405"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.282.10.964"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546515587714"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref32","article-title":"Evaluation of extent and pattern of neurocognitive functions in mild and moderate traumatic brain injury patients by using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score as a screening tool: an observational study from India","author":"Panwar","year":"2018","journal-title":"Asian J Psychiatr"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02699052.2018.1542506"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e318230208a"},{"key":"S0317167119000180_ref22","unstructured":"22.
