Abstract Visuoexecutive impairment is common among acute ischemic stroke patients. This study aimed to examine the ability of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) visuoexecutive subtests to detect visuoexecutive abnormality in acute ischemic stroke patients and to identify the predictors for their impairments. 336 patients who completed the MMSE and MoCA were enrolled in this study. We compared the proportion of participants with incorrect MoCA visuoexecutive tasks and MMSE pentagon copying. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations between the visuoexecutive dysfunction and demographic and clinical characteristics in the samples. Among all the participants, the MoCA detected more visuoexecutive dysfunction than the MMSE (88.69% vs. 45.83%, respectively; p
