Test-retest reliability of the MoCA-HI was high ( p < 0.001). There was no difference between the MoCA and the MoCA-HI performance in group 1 ( p = 0.12), whereas individuals of group 2 performed significantly better on the MoCA-HI than on the standard MoCA ( p < 0.001). In contrast, group 1 performed significantly better than group 2 on the standard MoCA ( p < 0.001). Results: No significant group difference between group 1 and 2 was found in the MoCA-HI total score ( p = 0.05). Additionally, all participants performed the standard MoCA (version 8.2). Material and methods: The German MoCA-HI was tested in 94 participants with normal or mild hearing impairment (group 1: 4PTA ≤ 40 dB on the better hearing ear) and 81 participants with moderate to profound hearing loss (group 2: 4PTA > 40 dB on the better hearing ear). Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare cognitively healthy participants with and without hearing loss, to examine the impact of age, sex, educational level and degree of hearing impairment on the German MoCA-HI performance, and to develop normative data. We report the first evaluation of a German language version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Hearing Impaired version (MoCA-HI).

Overall, the four screening tools were similar in test-retest reliability which imply that the MMSE, MoCA, SPMSQ, and SLUMS were reliable in monitoring cognitive function in people with dementia. The ICC values for screening tools were 0.86-0.90. The MDC 95 value was calculated based on the standard error of measurement to estimate the random measurement error. Sixty people with dementia were assessed twice two weeks apart, and the test-retest reliability was examined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for four screening tools.

This study aimed to compare the test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Saint Louis University Status Examination (SLUMS) in a single sample of people with dementia.
