Tests of cognitive function, including delirium
Tests screen, they do not diagnose
- Cognitive tests screen and quantify; they do not diagnose
- The diagnosis comes from the history, the collateral history and the functional impact. A score is a number to track, not a label
- Three questions, three different tools
1. Is this delirium? -> 4AT, CAM
2. Is there cognitive impairment, and how much? -> MMSE, MoCA, ACE-III, RUDAS
3. Which syndrome is it? -> domain-specific testing, imaging, neuropsychology
