The correlation between Mini-Mental State Examination scores and Katz ADL status among dementia patients.
This article describes a study of the relationship between mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores and Katz ADL scores among dementia patients. A convenience sample of 37 dementia patients with no other disabling diagnosis--such as Parkinson's or cerebrovascular accident--was used. The results of the study established a negative correlation between mini-mental state examination scores and Katz Index scores.
