About this study

Official title: Normative Data for the Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment-Taiwan Version (Qmci- TQ) in a Taiwanese Sample

Many perioperative factors have been pointed out as the risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction, which may occur immediately after the surgery, days after the surgery, or months after the surgery. Quick mild cognitive impairment screen (Qmci) is a sensitive and specific test to differentiate mild postoperative cognitive dysfunction. However, the learning effect have been raised as a bias when we repeated the same test for one person at different timing. Thus the study is designed to collected the Normative Data in series for the Qmci-TW in a Taiwanese Sample.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Taiwan CohortFor normative Taiwan people, cognitive function will be assessed by the Taiwan version of questionnaire Qmci (Qmci-TW) on Day 0, Day 2, Day 180.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. cognitive function by the Taiwan version of questionnaire Qmci (Qmci-TW)

    Qmci is a screening assessment developed to detect mild cognitive impairment. It's a 100-point test administered in approximately 10 minutes. A score of 60 or over is considered to be normal. The validity of the Taiwan version of Qmci has been established.

    Measured: 180 days
