Abbreviated Mental Test Score
The Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) is a brief, 10-item cognitive screening instrument developed by Hodkinson in 1972 and originally published in Age and Ageing. It was specifically designed to quickly assess cognitive function in older hospitalized patients, detecting delirium and dementia in acute hospital settings. The AMT is valued for its simplicity, brevity (2–3 minutes), and utility in fast-paced clinical environments where quick cognitive triage is essential.
