Measurements: Generalized estimating equations were used with the difference between baseline and follow-up cognitive abilities screening instrument (CASI) as the outcome variable.
Examples of such tests include the abbreviated mental test score (AMTS), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), modified mini-mental state examination (3MS) [17], cognitive abilities screening instrument (CASI) [18], and clock drawing test [19].
CASI, Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument.
Cognitive function was measured using the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI).
The five types of pathology explained 40% of the variance in the last Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument score [ 17].

The Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) [ 16] is a cognitive test derived from the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [ 17].
The Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) [ 18], a 100-point scale designed for cross-cultural use, was administered at each study wave.
Cognitive abilities screening instrument on cognition performance [includes mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), functional independence measure scale (FIM ] will be assessed in all groups before and after randomization (at 0,4,8 and 12 weeks).
Other instruments included the Portable Mental Status Questionnaire [ 39], the Clinical Dementia Rating scale [ 26, 27], the Organic Brain syndrome scale [ 32] and the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) [ 30, 45].
