Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary outcome is the proportion of patients with mild cognitive impairment, as defined by a cut-off score of the MoCA. While the original version of the MoCA will be employed at admission to rehabilitation, an official parallel version will be used at discharge to explore whether the degree of impairment has changed during CR (see section secondary outcome).
