Participants comprised 198 male violent offenders recruited between 1990 and 1998 from a court-ordered, two-month in-patient mental examination, at the Department of Forensic Psychiatry of Helsinki University Central Hospital.
As per an actual mental state examination in our hospital, the amount and speed of speech were diminished, and his affect was depressed.
Consequently, the MMSE is the most widely used mental status examination in the world.
Finally, we did not test validated measures of the frailty domains (eg, Timed Up and Go, grip strength, and Mini Mental State Examination) in our group.
This score is derived from a patient interview and mental status examination in conjunction with an interview of a collateral source.
Finally, we should focus greater attention on neuropsychological evaluation of children with diabetes by both performing a brief mental state examination in all newly diagnosed patients and providing cognitive follow-up.
Language abilities were assessed with spontaneous speech (talking briefly about his/her health problems), repetition, understanding items extracted from The Mental Status Examination in Neurology [Strub and Black, 2000], writing of one sentence, item extracted from the MMSE [Folstein et al., 1983], and naming with the short version (15-items) of the Boston Naming Test [Kaplan et al., 1983].
The types and timing of the physical and mental examinations are summarized in Table S1.
Results in APOE+ subjects also support previous findings (Schuff et al., 2009; Caroli and Frisoni, 2010), suggesting earlier hippocampal and entorhinal volume loss, which occur before Mini-Mental State Examination reduction in the APOE+ population and after Mini-Mental State Examination in the whole population and amyloid+ population.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has been shown to be superior to the Mini-Mental State Examination in screening for cognitive domain deficit and correlating to functional outcome in aSAH patients.
