About this study

Recently, a new screening test for cognitive disorders was specifically developed for patients with UAS: BEARNI (Brief Evaluation of Alcohol-Related Neuropsychological Impairments). Since the BEARNI is presented as the reference test, the investigators have systematically proposed it to hospitalized patients, in combination with the usual check-up. In practice, at admission, patients were therefore given two screening tests, the MoCA and the BEARNI. In the event of an anomaly in at least one of these tests, a battery of confirmatory neuropsychological tests was performed.
