The DAP trial structured delirium assessment included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [ 39], which assesses orientation to year, season, month, day of the week, date, city or town, name of place, and type of place.
Most subjects showed an improvement in tasks assessing orientation & mobility, spatial-motor localization, and ability of discerning the direction of motion of moving stimuli.
The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) is also a brief cognitive screening tool designed to incorporate the items of the MMSE and further extend the test to assess orientation, attention, verbal fluency, memory, language, and visuospatial abilities.
The K-MMSE included items assessing orientation (5 points for time- and 5 points for place-orientation), memory (3 points for immediate- and 3 points for delayed-recall), serial subtractions (5 points), language ability (2 points for naming, 3 points for oral command comprehension, and 1 point each for repetition, reading, and writing), and visuospatial ability (1 point).
To assess orientation selectivity, the moving bar of light was presented to each eye separately at four orientations centered around the optimal (0°, 45°, 90° and 135°).
Items assess orientation, memory, attention, and calculation.
It includes items that assess orientation, registration, recall, attention, calculation, language and visual and constructional tasks.
The Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is a 30-item questionnaire assessing orientation, concentration, memory, and language (23).
12 The TICS items briefly assess orientation, concentration, memory, naming, comprehension, calculation, reasoning, judgment, and distal limb praxis.
The 3MS is an interviewer administered test of global cognitive function which assesses orientation, attention, language, and memory.
