Converting from the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to the Mini-Mental State Examination-2.

<h4>Objective</h4>The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination-2 (MMSE-2) are useful psychometric tests for cognitive screening. Many clinicians want to predict the MMSE-2 score based on the MoCA score. To facilitate the transition from the MoCA to the MMSE-...
