ABSTRACT: [Purpose] This study aimed to evaluation of the Tokyo cognitive
assessment (Toca) for predicting cognitive impairment in rehabilitation users.
[Method] The variables of age, BMI, educational background, Toca for 36
rehabilitation users and 22 healthy elder were assessed. We compared cognitive
functions in rehabilitation users who need support and healthy elders.
[Results] Of the Toca 1 to 11 trials, there was a
significant difference other than 9, 10 rials.
The Toca scores with 8 points higher were significantly higher in healthy
elders than in rehabilitation users. The area under the receiver-operator curve
(AUC) for predicting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by the Toca was 0.874.
Using a cut-off point of 19/20, the Toca demonstrated a sensitivity of 83.9%
and a sensitivity of 85.0% in diagnosing MCI. [Conclusion] The Toca is a brief
cognitive screening tool with high sensitivity and specificity for detecting
MCI as currently conceptualized in rehabilitation users.
