A score of 0-2 out of 5 is a positive screen for dementia, 3-5 out of 5 is a negative screen for dementia (Borson et al., 2006), but a cut score of 4-5 out of 5 may increase detection of mild cognitive impairment (McCarten et al., 2012). The Mini CogTM by itself is not considered a valid tool for this use.
