The study confirms MoCA as an effective tool for detecting dementia, showing 83% sensitivity and 82% specificity at a cutoff value of 21. With a high NPV of 94%, MoCA is particularly reliable for ruling out dementia. Its ability to identify MCI is moderate, with a sensitivity of 77.3% at cutoff of 24.
