Screening for post-stroke neurocognitive disorders in diverse populations: a systematic review

Conclusions: MoCA, MMSE and OCS are promising tools for diagnosing post-stroke-NCD. For culturally diverse populations, translation, adaptation and adjusted scores or cut-offs are necessary for diagnostic accuracy. Available studies report scarcely about their sample's cultural background and there is a lack of diagnostic accuracy studies in less WEIRD or culturally diverse populations. Future studies should report more cultural characteristics of their sample to provide better insight into the tests' accuracy in culturally diverse populations.PMID:37480233 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2023.2237676
