Application of Machine Learning Method in Validation of Screening Cognitive Test for Parkinsonisms (CoMDA-ML-P)

May 11, 2021 updated by: Ospedale Generale Di Zona Moriggia-Pelascini

Cognitive Screening in Patients With Parkinsonism: Proposal for a New, Machine Learning Based Diagnostic Tool

Based on a prospectively collected data analysis, a new tool, namely CoMDA (Cognition in Movement Disorders Assessment) is developed by merging each item of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). A machine learning, able to classify the cognitive profile and predict patients' at risk of dementia, is created.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A prospectively data-base was setting up, collecting CoMDA and in-depht-neuropsychologocal-battery scores, obtained from the evaluation of 500 patients with parkinsonisms. Data were analyzed to compare the classification of patient cognition profile, obtained with CoMDA, MMSE, MoC and FAB, with that obtained from in-depth neuropsychological evaluation. A very high percentage of false negative emerged, for MMSE, MoCA and FAB. Conversely, the CoMDA score significantly reduces the rate of false negative.

This new tool, namely "CoMDA" (Cognition in Movement Disorders Assessment), was composed, by merging each item of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). Moreover, we created a machine learning, namely "Neural Net 91classification" able to classify the cognitive profile and predict patients' at risk of dementia, providing a prediction of the findings resulting from a in-depht neuropsychological evaluation.

CoMDA and the related Neural Net 91classification represent a reliable, time-sparing screening instrument, which is much more powerful of other common, widely-adopted tools.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
