| Popis: | The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has become widely used as a brief test of cognitive function in patients with neurological disease. More convenient application of the MoCA might increase its use and enhance its utility. An electronic version of the MoCA has recently been developed. To establish validity of the electronic version (eMoCA), discrepancy scores, concordance correlation coefficients (CCC), and root mean squared differences (RMSD) were calculated between each administration method in a sample of 43 new adult patients presenting with primary memory complaints. The CCC was 0.84 and the RMSD was 2.27, with 76% of the sample having a difference score within 2 points. Overall, this study establishes adequate convergent validity between the MoCA and eMoCA among an adult population presenting with memory concerns. |
