The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test: A Useful Tool in Screening of Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Background/objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an inflammatory, chronic, and multisystemic disease, which may be associated with a wide range of neuropsychiatric manifestations, including cognitive impairment. Cognitive evaluations based on screening tests might identify early SLE-related cognitive alterations. The aim of this study was to evaluate and to compare the efficacy of three screening tests (Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA], Mini Mental State Examination [MMSE], Cognitive Symptom Inventory [CSI]) against the gold standard (neuropsychological battery), in order to identify the most efficient screening test for cognitive impairment in patients with SLE.
