This study investigated whether the MoCA index scores represent the functions of each cognitive domain by examining the correlations with the corresponding cognitive domain scores derived from conventional neuropsychological tests included in the Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery, 2nd Edition (SNSB-II). Methods The participants were 104 amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), 74 vascular mild cognitive impairment (VaMCI), 73 dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT), and 41 vascular dementia (VaD) patients. All participants were administered the Korean-MoCA and SNSB-II. Results Like the MoCA total score, the MoCA-OIS, MoCA-VIS, and MoCA-MIS showed differences between aMCI and AD groups and between VaMCI and VaD groups. The MoCA-AIS, MoCA-LIS, and MoCA-EIS showed significant differences between VaMCI and VaD groups, but no difference between aMCI and DAT groups. In the aMCI and VaMCI groups, all index scores of the MoCA showed significant correlations with the corresponding cognitive domain scores of the SNSB-II. Except for MoCA-MIS, the MoCA-AIS, MoCA-LIS, MoCA-VIS, and MoCA-EIS also showed significant correlations with the corresponding domain scores of the SNSB-II in the DAT and VaD groups. Conclusions These results indicate that all MoCA index scores, except for MoCA-MIS, which does not reflect the severity of memory impairment in dementia patients, provide highly valid information on the function of each cognitive domain in patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.","PeriodicalId":72779,"journal":{"name":"Dementia and neurocognitive disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/87/8c/dnd-20-28.PMC8326308.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39280695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dementia patients are among the most vulnerable individuals in the society, and the COVID-19 crisis has further worsened their susceptibility. Notably, most of them are elderly patients who are vulnerable to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and COVID-19 complications.2,3 In order to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection, most governments imposed mitigation measures including quarantine and movement restrictions. This confinement significantly limits physical, cognitive, and social activities and has consequently led to the rapid deteriorating of clinical symptoms in dementia patients.4 In addition, confinement is associated with several psychological effects, including depression, irritability, and anger, which are likely to have a negative impact on the already burdened caregivers both at home and nursing facilities. The Korean Dementia Association has been very concerned about the consequences of the pandemic on dementia patients and their families and has come up with two measures aimed at developing a strong support system; 1, developing care guidelines for dementia patients and caregivers, and 2, Conducting a survey to identify the extent of COVID-19 impact in dementia patients.
