Abstract
Seventy percent of the patients were impaired in at least one cognitive domain. The accuracy of the MMSE in detecting cognitive impairment was no better than chance (AUC = 0.67; p = 0.13). No optimum MMSE cut-off value could be identified. The MMSE is particularly insensitive to impairments in abstract reasoning, executive functioning, and visual perception/construction.
