The Validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment for Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A Pilot Study.
American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation, 2019Co-Authors: Matthew Rong Jie Tay, Yan Ming Soh, Tegan Kate Plunkett, Poo Lee Ong, Wanping Huang, K. H. KongAbstract:OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to pilot the use of Montreal Cognitive Assessment as a quick clinical screen for Cognitive Assessment in traumatic brain injury patients. DESIGN The study recruited 61 participants with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury presenting to a tertiary rehabilitation center under the Brain Injury Program. A Montreal Cognitive Assessment questionnaire and neuropsychological battery (Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status and Color Trails Test) were administered to participants who had completed inpatient rehabilitation. RESULTS Receiver operating characteristic analysis for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment revealed an optimal balance of sensitivity and specificity at 24/25 to discriminate participants who were classified as less than 5th centile on the Total Scale Index on the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status. This achieved a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 73.9%, 86.5%, 77.3%, and 84.2%, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic analysis for the trail making subtest of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment achieved a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 79.4%, 74.1%, 79.4%, and 74.1% in identifying patients classified as less than 5th centile on Color Trail Test part 2. CONCLUSIONS The use of Montreal Cognitive Assessment displayed good validity in identifying patients with clinically significant impairment on a standard neuropsychological Assessment battery in the study population. However, it may lack sensitivity for estimating mild levels of impairment.

computerised Cognitive Assessment of athletes with sports related head injury
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2001Co-Authors: Alex Collie, David Darby, Paul MaruffAbstract:Professional and amateur participants in many sports are at risk of brain injury caused by impact with other players or objects. In many cases, mild Cognitive deficits may persist after the common neurological signs of brain injury have passed. In recent years, the athlete's Cognitive status after concussion has been measured with conventional "paper and pencil" neuropsychological tests. However, such tests are not ideal for sporting settings, as they are designed for the detection of gross Cognitive impairments at a single Assessment, not for the identification of mild Cognitive deficits on repeated Assessment. A number of computerised Cognitive Assessment tests and test batteries have been developed over the past two decades. These batteries offer major scientific and practical advantages over conventional neuropsychological tests which make them ideal for the Assessment of Cognitive function in sportspeople. This review first describes the problems associated with Cognitive Assessment of people with sports related Cognitive deficits, and then critically examines the utility of conventional neuropsychological and computerised Cognitive tests in sporting settings. Key Words: Cognitive Assessment; head; injury; concussion; computerised; neuropsychology
