Retest effects in specific subscale scores of the MMSE in patients with Alzheimer’s disease from random effects regression models (N = 990)
| MMSE subscale scores | Retest effect estimate (Cohen’s d) | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Orientation to Place | 0.18* (0.12) | (0.10, 0.26) |
| Short-delay recall | 0.09* (0.10) | (0.03, 0.15) |
| Registration | 0.07* (0.10) | (0.01, 0.13) |
| Orientation to Time | 0.10* (0.06) | (0.00, 0.20) |
| Attention and Calculation | 0.10 (0.05) | (−0.02, 0.22) |
| Writing | −0.02 (−0.05) | (−0.04, 0.00) |
| Comprehension | 0.03 (0.04) | (−0.03, 0.09) |
| Drawing | 0.02 (0.04) | (−0.02, 0.06) |
| Naming | −0.02 (−0.04) | (−0.04, 0.00) |
| Reading | 0.01 (0.03) | (−0.01, 0.03) |
| Repetition | 0.01 (0.02) | (−0.03, 0.05) |
*P < 0.05.
Subtests are sorted by the absolute value of the size of the standardized retest effect.
