The MoCA was significantly correlated with UPSA-B score (r=.51, p<.001), and accounted for significant additional variance in UPSA-B score beyond the BACS. The confidence and relevance ratings you submit with each response will help improve your MOCA-Peds experience, and will determine which. The results showed that the MoCA was significantly correlated with BACS (r=.61, p<.001) and sensitive to detect both mild (AUC=0.82, p<.001) and severe (AUC=0.81, p<.001) cognitive impairments in schizophrenia. Each year, you will receive one unique question for each of the 45 Learning Objectives drawn from the content outline that reflects the breadth of knowledge required for practice. Mild and severe cognitive impairments were defined as BACS Z-score (calculated with the age and gender adjustments using previously published local norm data) of one or two standard deviations below the mean, respectively. The MoCA, the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS), and the Brief UCSD Performance-based Skills Assessment (UPSA-B) were administered to 64 patients with schizophrenia. This study evaluates the clinical utility of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in detecting cognitive impairments in schizophrenia and its relationship with functional outcome and demographic characters. Therefore, a brief and reliable screening tool for identification of overall cognitive impairment prior to a detailed comprehensive neurocognitive assessment is needed in a busy clinical setting. For its evaluation, current clinical practice relies on detailed neuropsychological batteries which require trained testers and considerable amount of time to administer. Cognitive impairment is one of the core features of schizophrenia.
