BACKGROUND: @entity73 occur frequently in @entity1 with @entity712 ( @entity712 ), resulting in worse health outcomes than expected. These impairments can remain undetected unless specifically screened. There are limited sensitive screening measures available in nursing practice to identify @entity73 ( @entity73 ). AIM: To compare the Montreal Cognitive Assessment ( @entity15818 ) with the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) in screening for @entity73 in @entity712 @entity1 . METHODS: The MMSE and @entity15818 were administered to 93 hospitalized @entity712 @entity1 (70  11 years), without a history of @entity149 . @entity1 with low @entity15818 scores (<26) were compared to those with low MMSE scores (<27). Two different parameters were examined between the @entity15818 and the MMSE: level of @entity73 agreement (Kappa coefficient) and task errors on assessed cognitive domains (  2 test). RESULTS: Statistically more @entity1 had low @entity15818 scores compared with low MMSE scores (66 vs. 30, p=0.02). The @entity15818 classified 38 (41%) @entity1 as @entity73 that were not classified by the MMSE. A significantly low level of agreement was found (k=0.25, p=0.001) between the MMSE and @entity15818 in identifying @entity1 with scores suggestive of @entity73 . More task errors were observed on the @entity15818 cognitive domains compared with the MMSE cognitive domains. In 68% of @entity1 with low cognitive scores, visuospatial task errors were observed on tasks from the @entity15818 compared with 22% on a similar task of the MMSE. CONCLUSION: The @entity15818 , a screening tool for @entity73 , identified subtle but potentially clinically relevant @entity73 with greater frequency than MMSE.
