Total score: /8
For each category of activity, a level is selected corresponding to the activities
performed by the patient, and a score is awarded — 0 or 1.
The overall result can vary from 0 points (dependent on outside help, needs
significant help when performing instrumental functional activity) to 8 points
(independent of outside help). 3 points — without outside help; 2 points — with partial
help

Mini Cog Test
Ask the patient to repeat after you and remember three words: Lemon,
Key, Ball
Ask the patient to draw a round clock face, arrange all the numbers
and place all the hands so that the clock shows 11 hours 10 minutes.
Ask the patient to reproduce the words after completing the clock
drawing test.
Interpretation:
Memorization of words. The patient receives one point for each word
repeated without a prompt (total 0–3 points).
Clock drawing: the test result can be from 0 to 2 points: 1 point — all
the numbers are arranged in the correct order and approximately in the place
they occupy on the dial, 1 point — the arrows indicate the correct time; the
length of the hands (hour, minute) is not evaluated. Inability or refusal to
draw a clock — 0 points).
The overall result is the sum of the results of the two tasks
“Memorizing words” and “Drawing a clock” and ranges from 0 to 5 points.
If less than 3 points are scored, this is the basis for suggesting dementia. A
result of less than 4 points indicates the need for a deeper examination of
cognitive functions.
Explanations: the implementation of this technique allows you to
quickly assess the presence of undoubted cognitive impairment. May not be
sufficiently sensitive to non-demented cognitive disorders.
In addition, if the patient reproduced all the words, there is no
dementia. If the patient cannot reproduce the words, there is reason to
suspect dementia. If the patient reproduced the words partially, you should
refer to the result of the test with a clock. If the drawing of the clock is
disturbed, the doctor makes a provisional diagnosis of dementia. If the
arrows are drawn correctly, there is no dementia.
It is important to pay attention to the condition of the patient's
vision — if the vision is poor, the result may be false positive.

one of the
questions is
“yes”, then 4.2

“Now do the same with the other hand” (do not demonstrate)

hands)

of the scale and
the level of need
for social services
Group Description
0.5–1.5 points
Group A
Brings together people who need limited assistance with
personal hygiene, food preparation and cleaning.
Most often, people from this category have partially lost the
ability to self-service, they need little help to meet certain
vital needs, assistance in cleaning hard-to-reach places,
assistance in hanging clean linen.

149
The final score
for parts 1 and 2
of the scale and
the level of need
for social services
Group Description
Cognitive functions in this category of people are not
impaired.
The health of these people is in a stable state, controlled by
drug therapy. Most likely, they do not require frequent
hospitalizations, but require dispensary observation.
The level corresponds topre-frail older adults, maybe
single geriatric syndromes (such as sensory deficits that do
not lead to drastic restrictions on their functional status).
2–4 points
Group B
The ability to self-care is reduced. People from this group,
who need help in moving around the house, use technical
means of rehabilitation. Need help with dressing and
personal hygiene — need partial help with bathing;
It is possible to perform only partial cleaning within the
reach of a person’s hand, help is needed to maintain living
conditions. Assistance with food preparation is often needed.
Cognitive functions in this category of people are not
impaired.
4.5–7.0
Group C
It unites people who have partially lost the ability to selfservice, due to a health disorder with a persistent pronounced
disorder of body functions due to diseases, the consequences
of injuries or defects, leading to a pronounced limitation of
one of the categories of life activity or a combination of
them, but most often retained mental independence.
People in this group who need help daily and repeatedly to
perform activities of daily life (assistance with mobility,
accompaniment outside the home, assistance with getting up,
significant help with bathing and dressing).
Significant assistance is needed in cleaning, washing,
cooking hot meals. Need supervision/assistance with
medication
7.5–9 points
Group D
People of this group are not capable of self-service and
performing instrumental everyday activities without outside
help, often chained to a bed or chair, while their mental

Group Description
functions are not completely impaired, they need help in
various activities in everyday life.
This group may include persons whose mental functions are
severely impaired, while they retained the ability to move.
In both cases, the degree of a person's dependence on outside
help leads to a pronounced limitation of one of the categories
of life activity or a combination of them.
The degree of functionality corresponds to 1–2 disability
groups. Significant assistance needed with self-care with
assistive devices and/or assistance from others:
dressing/bathing/eating/water intake/management of
medications/assistance with personal care products/moving
around the house/handling and caring for compensatory
medical supplies devices
The ability to orientate in time and space is often impaired,
requiring the help of others;
It is necessary to maintain the ability to communicate and the
ability to control one's behavior.
9.5 points or more
Group E
People from this group are chained to a bed or an armchair,
their mental functions are severely impaired, and they need
the constant presence of helpers. People from this group may
be mentally healthy, but need palliative care and constant
care.
The degree of functionality corresponds to disability group 1
with a persistent, significantly pronounced disorder of body
functions
After the CGO, the doctor makes a conclusion and formulates
recommendations
