Conversion between the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MSE) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MSE) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) are two commonly used instruments for assessing cognitive function. Although conversion between 3MSE and MMSE is useful in applications such as integrative data analysis, there are limited published reports on the topic. Our objective is to provide a dual tool: (1) an item-level conversion tool to score responses for deriving both 3MSE and MMSE measures, and (2) cross-walk tables to facilitate quick conversion between 3MSE and MMSE.

Methods

An SAS program tool allows scoring of 3MSE item-level responses into MMSE score. Using integrated data sets (n = 8346), actual 3MSE and MMSE scores obtained from the same individuals were linked to form cross-walk tables.
