The present study aimed at deriving regression-based reliable change indices (RCIs) for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in an Italian cohort of non-demented Parkinson's disease (PD) patients.<h4>Methods</h4>N = 33 consecutive, non-demented PD patients were followed-up at a 5-to-8-month interval (M = 6.6; SD = 0.6) with the MoCA. Practice effects and test-retest reliability were assessed via dependent-sample t-tests and intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficients, respectively. RCIs were derived separately for raw and demographically adjusted MoCA scores according to a standardized regression-based approach by accounting for both baseline confounders (i.e., demographics, disease duration and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale scores) and retest interval.<hBMC neurology427https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11533291biostudies-literatureReliable change indices for the Italian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in non-demented Parkinson's disease patients.PMC11533291Priori ATicozzi NPravettoni GOlivero MMorelli CVerde FBonetti RCurti BMaderna LAiello ENDe Luca GCiammola ASilani VScheveger FSolca FBarbieri SMaranzano ADoretti ADe Sandi APoletti BTorre SFerrucci RMarfoli AMellace DColombo ERuggiero FfalseReliable change indices for the Italian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in non-demented Parkinson's disease patients.<h4>Background</h4>.
