The Mini\u2010Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) are two commonly used psychometric tests for cognitive screening. Both tests have different strengths and weaknesses. Preferences regarding test selection may therefore differ among clinicians. The aim of this retrospective observational cohort study was to define corresponding scores for the MMSE and the MoCA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We examined the relationship between the cognitive screening tests in 803 German\u2010speaking Memory Clinic outpatients, encompassing a wide range of neurocognitive disorders. We produced a conversion table using the equipercentile equating method with log\u2010linear smoothing. In addition, we conducted a systematic review of existing MMSE\u2010MoCA conversions to create a table allowing for the conversion of MoCA scores into MMSE scores and vice versa using the weighted mean method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Memory Clinic sample showed that the prediction of MMSE to MoCA was overall less accurate compared to the conversion from MoCA to MMSE. The 19 studies included after thorough literature search showed that MoCA scores were consistently lower than MMSE scores. Eleven of 19 conversion studies had addressed the conversion of the MoCA to the MMSE, while two studies converted MMSE to MoCA scores. Another six studies applied bi\u2010directional conversions. We provide an easy\u2010to\u2010use table covering the entire range of scores and taking into account all currently existing conversion formulas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The comprehensive MMSE\u2010MoCA conversion table enables a direct comparison of cognitive test scores at screening examinations and over the course of disease in patients with neurocognitive disorders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jgs.18124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]],"date-time":"2022-11-08T06:34:18Z","timestamp":1667889258000},"page":"869-879","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":110,"title":["Conversion between the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the\n                    <scp>Mini\u2010Mental<\/scp>\n                    Status Examination"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Jael S.","family":"Fasnacht","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Memory Clinic University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX PLATTER  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra S.","family":"Wueest","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Memory Clinic University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX PLATTER  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Intermediate Care, Prehospital Emergency Medicine and Pain Therapy, University Hospital Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manfred","family":"Berres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Technology University of Applied Sciences Koblenz  Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandra E.","family":"Thomann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Memory Clinic University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX PLATTER  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Intermediate Care, Prehospital Emergency Medicine and Pain Therapy, University Hospital Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabine","family":"Krumm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Memory Clinic University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX PLATTER  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klemens","family":"Gutbrod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurozentrum Bern and Department of Neurology, Inselspital Bern University Hospital and University of Bern  Bern Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luzius A.","family":"Steiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Intermediate Care, Prehospital Emergency Medicine and Pain Therapy, University Hospital Basel  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolai","family":"Goettel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology University of Florida College of Medicine  Gainesville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas U.","family":"Monsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Memory Clinic University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX PLATTER  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Psychology University of Basel  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"PrinceM Comas\u2010HerreraA KnappM GuerchetM KaragiannidouM.World Alzheimer report 2016.
