Comparative StudyDiscrimination ability of the Short Test of Mental Status (STMS) compared to the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) in the spectrum of normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and probable Alzheimer's disease dementia: The Turkish standardization study.
The aim of the present study was to standardize the Short Test of Mental Status (STMS) in the general Turkish aging population and to find its discriminative ability along the continuum of normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and probable Alzheimer's disease dementia (probable AD). ⋯ The results show that STMS is more sensitive than MMSE and can be used by clinicians to differentiate both normal cognition from MCI and MCI from probable AD.
