The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has been recommended as a clinical screening instrument for VCI. 1 The latter protocol aims to increase access for cognitive assessment for patients living in remote areas or for those not able to attend clinical follow-up for various reasons (eg, homebound) and to support telemedicine stroke service and large epidemiological and clinical research. The 60- and the 30-minute protocols were designed for detailed cognitive profiling and clinical screening, whereas a brief protocol (≈5 minutes) was proposed to serve as a screen at bedside, busy clinics, and over the telephone. In 2005, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke-Canadian Stroke Network (NINDS-CSN) VCI Harmonization Working Group recommended a set of 3 neuropsychological protocols to serve different purposes in VCI assessment. Screening instruments for VCI should be sensitive to mild impairment and neuropsychological features of VCI. 1, 2 Cognitive assessment is integral in the diagnosis and management of VCI. It is common in the aging population and is particularly prevalent in patients with stroke. Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) refers to cognitive dysfunction with an underlying vascular cause.
