Validating the MoCA for triaging

neuropsychological assessment, andwhen applicable CT/MRI- imaging and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis (Dautzenberg et al., 2020; Nederlandse Vereniging voor Klinische Geriatrie, 2014). They were classified as MD, MCI or SNoCI. We further differentiated these groups by the most likely cause by DSM IV (American Psychiatric Association, 2000) and clustered the neurodegenerative (MCI-N.D.) and psychiatric causes (MCI-Psy) for the MCI-group. We did not differentiate the MCI into non/amnestic uni- or multi-domain. The comparisons consisted of SNoCI patients from this cohort. Therefore avoiding spectrum-bias due to healthy controls and avoiding selection-bias by including naturalistic possible etiologies to comply with the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy dementia (STARD-Dem) (Noel-Storr et al., 2014). The Committee for Research and Ethics of the institution approved this study (CWO-nr 1606).
