Commonly asked questions
Interpreting the SLUMS score involves comparing the patient’s total score against set thresholds that indicate normal cognitive function, mild neurocognitive disorder, or potential dementia. Score ranges are adjusted based on the patient’s education level.
You can administer the SLUMS Test as often as needed to monitor changes in a patient's cognitive status, especially to track progression or improvement. Please remember to use other tests as well.
