RESUMO

RESUMO: Vários testes de triagem foram utilizados para avaliação cognitiva na doença de Parkinson (DP). Objetivo: Avaliar a utilidade da Avaliação Cognitiva de Montreal (MoCA) em pacientes com doença de Parkinson sem queixa de comprometimento cognitivo. Métodos: Um total de 40 pacientes com TP sem queixas de problemas cognitivos foram admitidos e com o Estado de Exame do Estado Mental Mini (MEEM) foram selecionados e receberam o MoCA. Resultados: 80% apresentaram dados de Comprometimento Cognitivo Leve (ICM) segundo o MoCA, sendo as funções visoespaciais, atenção e memória atrasada aquelas que apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos MoCA normal e anormal. Conclusão: Este estudo sugere que o MoCA pode ser um bom teste de triagem em pacientes com DP que não apresentam queixas cognitivas.ABSTRACT. Several screening tests have been used for cognitive evaluation in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in patients with Parkinson’s disease and no cognitive impairment complaints. Methods: A total of 40 PD patients with no complaints of cognitive problems were included. Patients were selected using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the MoCA was then administered. Results: 80% of patients exhibited Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) according to the MoCA. Statistically significant differences in visuospatial, attention and delayed recall functions were evident between the normal and abnormal MoCA groups. Conclusion: The study results suggest that MoCA may be a good screening test in patients with PD who do not present cognitive complaints.
