有人建议，迷你精神状态检查可以用来检查病人的认知概况。因此，我们检验了小心理状态子测试和个别项目的有效性。记忆项目、注意-集中项目和建构项目具有令人满意的敏感性-特异性，并与神经心理测试成绩显著相关。相比之下，五个“迷你精神状态”语言项目中有四个的敏感性非常低，五个中的三个与神经心理学测试分数没有关联。这些发现建立了关于迷你精神状态产生认知概况的能力的限制。我们的数据还提供了广泛使用的心理状态任务的有效性，难度水平和最佳截止分数的信息。
It has been suggested that the Mini-Mental State examination can be used to examine a patient's cognitive profile. We therefore examined the validity of Mini-Mental State subtests and individual items. The memory item, attention-concentration items, and constructional item had satisfactory sensitivity-specificity and correlated significantly with scores on neuropsychological tests. In contrast, four of the five Mini-Mental State language items had very low sensitivity, and three of five failed to correlate with neuropsy-chological test scores. These findings establish limits with regard to the ability of the Mini-Mental State to generate a cognitive profile. Our data also provide information regarding validity, difficulty level, and optimal cutoff scores for widely used mental status tasks.
