All the subjects were assessed with Mini-Cog, GPCOG and MIS.Result : Disgnostic analysis of GPCOG in screening of poststroke dementia showed sensitivity 85%; specificity 68^; PPV 74%; NPV 81%; and accuracy 77%. And the diagnostic analiysis of MIS showed sensitivity 97%; speccificity 37%; PPV 62%; NPV 92%; and accuracy 68%.Conclusion : The GPCOG was better in screening poststroke dementia than the MIS with an insignificant difference of accuracy between GPCOG and MIS in screening of poststroke dementia (p=0.94)Keywords : Mini-Cog; GP-COG; MIS; Poststroke Deementia.]]>
