Diagnostic accuracy of cognitive screening tools under different neuropsychological definitions for poststroke cognitive impairment.

Cognitive screening tools including the face-to-face MMSE and MoCA, together with the telephone assessment of NINDS-CSN 5-minute protocol and SIS, were simple and effective for detecting PSCI in stroke patients. The corresponding threshold values for PSCI were 27 points, 19 points, 23 points, and 4 points.
