ABSTRACTS: Background: The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) are brief cognitive screening tools that have been developed for the screening of patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment. Methods: A total of 105 patients were included in this study, aged 53–89 years, with acute ischemic stroke admitted to hospital and fell into two groups: stroke patients with cognitive impairment (SCI) and controls with no cognitive impairment (n-SCI). The patient’s characteristics are collected and regression analyses were performed to predict cognitive impairments. We use MMSE and MoCA assessment as prognostic indices for cognitive impairments of patient’s with stroke. Objectives: Our aim was to examine the effectiveness of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in screening cognitive impairments. Main results: There were significant difference among the two groups in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) (p
