| Abstract |
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a common cognitive screening test, but its utility in identifying impairments in survivors of acute respiratory failure is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate MMSE performance versus a concurrently-administered detailed neuropsychological test battery in survivors of acute respiratory failure. This cross-sectional analysis used data from the ARDSNet Long Term Outcomes Study (ALTOS) and Awakening and Breathing Controlled Trial (ABC). Participants were 242 survivors of acute respiratory failure. The MMSE and detailed neuropsychological tests were administered at 6 and 12 months post-hospital discharge for ALTOS, and at hospital discharge, 3 and 12 months for ABC. Overall cognitive impairment identified by the MMSE (score <24) was compared to impairments identified by the neuropsychological tests. We also matched orientation, registration, attention, memory and language domains on the MMSE to the corresponding neuropsychological test. Pairwise correlations, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and agreement were assessed. Agreement between MMSE and neuropsychological tests for overall cognitive impairment was fair (42%-80%). Specificity was excellent ≥93%, but sensitivity was poor (19-37%). Correlations between MMSE domains and corresponding neuropsychological tests were weak to moderate (6-month: r = 0.11-0.28; 12-month: r = 0.09-0.34). The highest correlation between the MMSE and neuropsychological domains was for attention at 6 months (r = 0.28) and language at 12 months (r = 0.34). In acute respiratory failure survivors, the MMSE has poor sensitivity in detecting cognitive impairment compared with concurrently-administered detailed neuropsychological tests. MMSE results in this population should be interpreted with caution. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 22. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 January 2021.
All research outputs
#1,711,731
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#1,507
of 6,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,023
of 395,421 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#106
of 466 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,554 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 395,421 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 466 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
