Abstract
Objectives
The objective is to compare two brief cognitive screening tests, MMSE and SCIP-S, and determine their usefulness in assessing the cognitive status of subjects diagnosed with psychiatric pathology.
Material and methods
Pilot study of a series of 33 cases from the Institutes of Legal Medicine of Catalonia and Andorra, whose inclusion criterion was the existence of a psychiatric pathology categorized in ICD-10. In all cases, in addition, to the forensic medical interview, MMSE was administered followed by SCIP-S.
Results
In MMSE, 31 of the 33 interviewees obtained a total direct score ≥ 24 (normal cognitive performance). In SCIP-S, only 5 of the 33 participants were in a percentile ≥ 15 (normal cognitive performance). The difference between the results of both tests was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
This study suggests a greater usefulness of SCIP-S compared to MMSE in detecting cognitive deficits in psychiatric patients. Therefore, the use of the former is recommended in forensic medical practice.
