Equipercentile equating of the sMoCA and MMSE> Corresponding test scores and percentile ranks allow for conversion of sMoCA scores to MMSE scores. For example, a sMoCA score of 7 (50th percentile) is equivalent to a MMSE score of 25 (50th percentile). All neurological conditions were included in the cross-walk.
Figure 1A. A plot of the equipercentile equivalent scores on the MMSE and s-MoCA. As an example, a score of 7 on the s-MoCA is equivalent to a score of 25 on the MMSE, as both of these scores fall at the 50th percentile within a sample with a wide range of cognitive impairment, including healthy individuals.
Figure 1B. Equivalent, average, median and the range of MMSE scores are shown for each possible score on the s-MoCA. Equivalent MMSE scores were generated using equipercentile equating method. The number of individuals that achieved a given s-MoCA score is shown in the final column.
