Mmse reliability and validity8/18/2023 ![]() ![]() To this end, we studied 194 first-ever stroke patients without pre-stroke cognitive deterioration who underwent MMSEs and neuropsychological test batteries at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months after stroke. The aim of this study was to determine whether the MMSE is able to adequately screen for cognitive impairment and dementia after stroke and whether or not the MMSE can predict further deterioration or recovery in cognitive function over time. Despite its broad use, its predictive characteristics after stroke have not been exhaustively investigated. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the test most widely applied to screen for cognitive deficits. Standardised screening measures are desirable. Neuropsychological testing is time-consuming and not easy to administer after hospital discharge. Cognitive deficits are commonly observed in stroke patients.
