Evaluation of the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment for Predicting Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment During the Acute Phase in Chinese Minor Stroke Patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To assess the value of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) during acute phase in predicting post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) at 3–6 months. Methods: We prospectively recruited 229 patients who had suffered their first-ever ischemic stroke. PSCI was determined in 104 of these patients by a comprehensive neuropsychological battery performed at 3-6 months. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was then performed to compare the discriminatory ability of the MMSE and MoCA. In addition, we applied a decision tree generated by classification and regression tree (CART) methodology. Results: In total, 66 patients had PSCI when evaluated 3-6 months after the onset of minor stroke. Logistic regression analysis revealed that education, body mass index (BMI), and baseline MoCA scores were independently associated with PSCI. ROC curve analysis showed that the ability to predict PSCI was similar when compared between baseline MoCA scores (area under curve [AUC], 0.821; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.743 to 0.898) and baseline MMSE scores (AUC, 0.809; 95% CI, 0.725 to 0.892), P = 0.75). Both MMSE and MoCA exhibited similar predictive values at their optimal cutoff points (MMSE ≤ 27; sensitivity, 0.682; specificity, 0.816; MoCA ≤ 21; sensitivity, 0.636; specificity, 0.895). CART-derived analysis yielded an AUC of 0.823 (sensitivity, 0.803; specificity, 0.842). Conclusion: When applied within 2 weeks of stroke, the MMSE and MoCA are both useful, have similar predictive value for PSCI 3-6 months after the onset of minor stroke.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
