Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Modest cognitive decline in ≥1 domain (concern of individual, knowledgeable informant, or clinician; supported by objective performance evidence)
Core criterion B
Deficits do not interfere with independence (may require greater effort/compensatory strategies for complex IADLs)
Core criterion C
Not occurring exclusively during delirium
Core criterion D
Not better explained by another mental disorder
Consistent with [Mild Neurocognitive Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Over a period of gradual or stepwise change, there has been evidence of modest cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains including complex attention; executive function; learning and memory; language; perceptual-motor function; social cognition, based on concern of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician, and modest impairment on objective cognitive assessment or clinical evaluation. The presentation is further characterised by cognitive deficits that do not interfere with capacity for independence in everyday activities, such that greater effort, compensatory strategies, or accommodation may be required for complex instrumental activities of daily living. These symptoms have resulted in clinically meaningful cognitive change with preserved basic functional independence, and the cognitive deficits do not occur exclusively in the context of delirium.
