Each component has its own score, but additional information may be gained from the time to complete the screen. Cognitive screening completion time is rarely used as an outcome measure. We assessed the added value of using DOC screen completion time as a predictor of impairment on detailed cognitive assessments.MethodsConsecutive English-speaking new referrals to the stroke prevention clinic were consented to participate in detailed neuropsychological testing (n=437). DOC screen scores and times were compared to cognitive test scores using multiple linear regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. All linear regression analyses controlled for age, sex, years of education, and functional outcome as assessed by the modified Rankin score.ResultsAverage completion time for the DOC screen was 3.8 ± 1.3 minutes.
