Comparison of 2 Tests to Diagnose Cognitive Dysfunctions in Alcohol Disease

Completed

• Conditions: Alcohol Use Disorder
• Interventions: Other: MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) test; Other: BEARNI (Brief Evaluation of Alcohol Related Neuropsychological Impairment) Test

• Registration Number: NCT04009707
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is therefore to compare the results obtained with these two screening tests, using as gold standard the results obtained by the battery of neuropsychological reference tests.

Detailed Description

Recently, a new screening test for cognitive disorders was specifically developed for patients with UAS: BEARNI (Brief Evaluation of Alcohol-Related Neuropsychological Impairments). Since the BEARNI is presented as the reference test, the investigators have systematically proposed it to hospitalized patients, in combination with the usual check-up. In practice, at admission, patients were therefore given two screening tests, the MoCA and the BEARNI. In the event of an anomaly in at least one of these tests, a battery of confirmatory neuropsychological tests was performed.
