“…Although SMD is a method that combines the instrument with different scales, we believe that the interpretation of SMD is far more difficult than the MD, and it is possible that the instruments may have a certain levels of diagnostic variation. 32 Therefore, we only use MD to report an instrument that is the most frequently used in the domain. To ensure the validity of results, we also conducted the analyses with SMD and the conclusions remained the same.…”

“…8 Other similar tests exist for mild cognitive impairment and dementia, such as the MiniMental State Examination (MMSE) and Mini-Cog, and have also been shown in prior studies to have great application in daily practice. 9,10 The data from this study suggest that depression may affect performance by rural residents on these tests of cognitive functioning as well.…”

Background: Previous studies have shown that depression is associated with cognitiveimpairment. However, others have shown that there is no significant difference in the scoresof the National Adult Reading Test (NART), a screening test for intellectual functioning andgeneral level of education, between those with vs. without depression. This study sought toexamine whether depression is associated with the American version of NART (AMNART) ina rural cohort of West Texas.Methods: Participants with IQ and AMNART tests were selected from Project FRONTIER,an ongoing epidemiology study of rural residents in four West Texas counties.Results: AMNART scores were significantly lower in participants with depression(23.3±9.2) vs. those without depression (25.9±9.9) (p<0.05). Analysis by age group showedthat AMNART scores were significantly lower in those with depression (22.0±10.1) comparedwith those without depression (26.2±10.2) in the age group 50 to 64 years (P=0.0322). AlthoughAMNART scores were lower in participants with depression than those without depression inthe age groups 40 to 49 years (25.0±8.6 vs. 26.2±10.2) and 65 years or older (23.6±8.2 vs.25.6±9.5), they were not statistically significantly different.Conclusions: Depression is associated with lower AMNART scores in rural residentsaged between 50 and 64 years in West Texas.

“…A 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis by Tsoi et al (7) described 11 currently available screening tests for cognitive function (see 'Staging dementia' for more information on these screening tests). Common screening tests used in Singapore are the AMT, which consists of ten questions, (8) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), which consists of 30 questions.…”

Medical reports are required to support court applications to appoint a deputy to make decisions on behalf of a person who has lost mental capacity. The doctor writing such a medical report needs to be able to systematically assess the mental capacity of the person in question, in order to gather the necessary evidence for the court to make a decision. If the medical report is not adequate, the application will be rejected and the appointment of the deputy delayed. This article sets out best practices for performing the assessment and writing the medical report, common errors, and issues of concern.
