The Standardised Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE) is a clinical assessment tool which is used as a screening test for cognitive impairment (Molloy D, Alemayehu E, Roberts R 1991a). The SMMSE consists of 12 items or questions which cover a range of cognitive domains. Each item has a maximum score:
Scores above 1 are not permissible for items 6-11. Scores above 3 are not permissible for items 3 and 12. Scores above 5 are not permissible for items 1, 2 and 4. The scores are summed for the 12 items ranging from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 30. The SMMSE can be adjusted for non-cognitive disabilities. If an item cannot be modified or adjusted then the item is omitted, reducing the maximum obtainable score from 30. The formula ((Actual score x 30)/Maximum obtainable score) is used to readjust the score to be comparable with unadjusted scores. |
