Abstract

It is an economical strategy to design a screening method to decide which patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/ motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) should enter into the stage for further comprehensive neuropsychological investigation. 59 patients (including 8 with frank dementia) were recruited. They underwent the extensive neuropsychological evaluation and short screening batteries, namely the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Peking Union Medical College Hospital version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-P) and the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). Results of the extensive neuropsychological evaluation were set as the gold standard to diagnose cognitive impairment, and the effectiveness of screening tests were measured against them. By comparing the sensitivity and specificity, we found that the combination of FAB plus both or either of the other 2 short batteries provided a satisfactorily high sensitivity, but none of these screening batteries was significantly associated with quantitative behavioral measurements among non-demented subjects, the Frontal Behavioral Inventory-ALS version (FBI-ALS). The combination of the FBI-ALS, the FAB, and the MMSE or the MoCA-P or both could effectively screen comorbid deme...Continue Reading
