Saint Louis University Mental Status Exam

The Saint Louis University Mental Status Exam[1] was developed at the Division of Geriatric Medicine, Saint Louis University School of Medicine in affiliation with the Veterans Association as a screening tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment in a veteran population. It has since been extended to other populations,[2] compares favorably with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment[3] and has been shown to be superior to the Mini-Mental State Exam in the detection of early dementia.[4]
