Σύνοψη	The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a brief, 30-point screening instrument developed by Folstein, Folstein, and McHugh in 1975 to assess cognitive function in clinical settings. It is designed to detect cognitive impairment and monitor cognitive decline over time, particularly in older adults and patients with suspected dementia. The MMSE remains one of the most widely used cognitive screening tools in primary care, neurology, and geriatric medicine worldwide.	The Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) is a comprehensive 36-item clinician-administered neuropsychological battery designed to assess and quantify cognitive decline in dementia. Developed by Sandra Mattis in 1988, the DRS measures five major cognitive domains—attention, initiation/perseveration, construction, conceptualization, and memory—and provides both a total score and subscale scores. The DRS is particularly valued in neurodegenerative disease research and clinical settings for its sensitivity to cognitive change over time and its utility in detecting cognitive impairment across the dementia spectrum.
