This article has been retracted as a result of concerns regarding the use of raw data without consent, and that therefore the article must be retracted. According to the authors, this study was conducted on the request and support of the Ministry of Health and Welfare to integrate the two Korean versions of Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) into one because psychiatrists and neurologists were using different versions of MMSE in the same national dementia early detection programs. Therefore, the authors did not translate the original English version into a new Korean version but just revised the two previous Korean versions into one by simply combining their items. The two previous Korean versions of MMSE were the MMSE-KC [1] and the K-MMSE [2]. Authors did not think that they had to get the consent of the original author of MMSE because the work was to make a revised version of the existing Korean versions. However, recently, the PAR, who has the license of the original version of MMSE, has asked authors to withdraw the article above because they judged this work as the second work of the original one.
