abstract = {Background/Aims: There is an increasing interest in using
the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test as a
monitoring tool in Alzheimer's disease (AD) in both research
and clinical settings. Our aim was to investigate the
utility of alternate forms of the MoCA in detecting
cognitive deterioration in a sample of early AD patients
followed longitudinally in an outpatient memory clinic.
Method: Twenty-five patients with early-stage AD (prodromal
or mild dementia) were administered the original version and
one of two previously validated alternate forms of the MoCA
within an interval of about 1 year. The decline over time
and the rate of change of the MoCA were compared to the
total score of a standardized neuropsychological assessment
battery (Consortium to Establish a Registry of Alzheimer's
Disease; CERAD-Plus). Responsiveness to change was
determined by calculating standard response means and the
respective effect sizes. Results: Sixty percent of the
sample showed a clinical decline on the clinical dementia
rating (CDR) scale. There was significant deterioration in
the MoCA and CERAD total scores. Conclusion: The results
demonstrate that the MoCA is capable of detecting change
over time and seems to be a valid tool with small to
moderate sensitivity for monitoring cognitive change in
early AD.},
