Validation of a short Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test of cognitive impairment

Abstract: A 6-item Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test has been validated as a measure of cognitive impairment. This test predicted the scores on a validated 26-item mental status questionnaire of two patient groups in a skilled nursing home, patients in a health-related facility, and in a senior citizens' center. There was a positive correlation between scores on the 6-item test and plaque counts obtained from the cerebral cortex of 38 subjects at autopsy. This test, which is easily administered by a nonphysician, ha… Show more

“…The CDR is derived from a semistructured interview with the participant and a knowledgeable informant. In addition to the interview, the clinician also collects brief performance measures to assess the patient’s cognitive ability including the Mini Mental Status exam [14] (since 1996), the Short Blessed Test [15], abstracting similarities and differences, performing calculations and the Clock Drawing Test [16]. The CDR evaluates cognitive function in each of six categories (memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, performance in community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care) without reference to the detailed neuropsychological testing described below or results of previous evaluations.…”
