Examining the Vietnamese Montreal cognitive assessment in healthy and moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury populations.

There have been attempts to modify the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a brief cognitive screening tool, for use across several Asian countries, but evidence to support the utility of these translations has been limited, particularly for the Vietnamese translation of the MoCA (MoCA-V). This two-part study aimed to evaluate the MoCA-V in a Vietnamese sample. In the first stage, we examined the relationships between the MoCA-V subscales and common neuropsychological tests among healthy Vietnamese adults ( = 129) and individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury ( = 80).
