Thus, MoCA cannot stand alone as a screening tool for identifying young adults in need of rehabilitation following CNS infection. In young adults, MoCA scores were often normal despite a need for rehabilitation. As a screening tool, MoCA was able to identify patients in need of rehabilitation. There is a need for rehabilitation among CNS patients after discharge. In 42% of the CNS patients in need of rehabilitation, the MoCA score was ≥ 26, and most of these patients were aged 16 to 43 years (young adults). An abnormal MoCA score < 26 was the only variable strongly associated with higher odds of needing rehabilitation. The prevalence of needing rehabilitation was 58% among CNS patients. The need for rehabilitation was assessed by physicians with the aid of an occupational therapy assessment, after which a MoCA was performed. CNS patients admitted during a 2-year study period were included. Our objectives were to evaluate the prevalence of CNS patients in need of rehabilitation after discharge and to assess whether the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) could be used as a screening tool to identify these patients. ![]() Cognitive impairments are reported in some patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections after discharge. ![]()
