Comparison of the telephone-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (T-MoCA) and Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) as screening tests for early Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Remote screening for cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) has grown in importance with the expected rise in prevalence of AD in an aging population and with new potential treatment options.

Methods

The Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) and new telephone adaptation of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (T-MoCA) were administered to participants independently classified through in-person clinical evaluation as cognitively normal (CN; n = 167), mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n = 25), or dementia (n = 23). Cerebrospinal fluid AD biomarkers were measured (n = 79).

Results

TICS and T-MoCA were highly correlated (r = 0.787; P < 0.001): groups differed on both (CN
