Mini-Exame do Estado Mental: características psicométricas em idosos ambulatoriais

TLDR
Para o rastreamento cognitivo de idosos atendidos em ambulatorios gerais pelo Mini-Exame do Estado Mental, a escolaridade devera ser considerada para a adocao do ponto de corte mais adequado.
Abstract
OBJETIVO: Avaliar as caracteristicas de medida do Mini-Exame do Estado Mental em idosos atendidos em um ambulatorio geral. METODOS: O total de 303 individuos (>65 anos) foi submetido a avaliacao geriatrica com varios instrumentos, inclusive o Mini-Exame do Estado Mental. Foram calculadas a sensibilidade, a especificidade, os valores preditivos positivo e negativo e a curva ROC. RESULTADOS: A sensibilidade, a especificidade, os valores preditivos positivo e negativo e a area sob a curva ROC foram 80,8%, 65,3%, 44,7%, 90,7% e 0,807, respectivamente (ponto de corte 23/24). O melhor ponto de corte para individuos analfabetos foi 18/19 (sensibilidade =73,5%; especificidade =73,9%), e para aqueles com instrucao escolar foi 24/25 (sensibilidade =75%; especificidade =69,7%). CONCLUSOES: Para o rastreamento cognitivo de idosos atendidos em ambulatorios gerais pelo Mini-Exame do Estado Mental, a escolaridade devera ser considerada para a adocao do ponto de corte mais adequado.
