BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Guidelines recommend cognitive screening in acute stroke. Various instruments are available, with no consensus on a preferred tool. We aimed to describe test accuracy of brief screening tools for diagnosis of cognitive impairment and delirium in acute stroke. METHODS We collected data on sequential stroke unit admission in a single center. Four assessors trained in cogn...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Guidelines recommend screening stroke-survivors for cognitive impairments. We sought to collate published data on test accuracy of cognitive screening tools. METHODS Index test was any direct, cognitive screening assessment compared against reference standard diagnosis of (undifferentiated) multidomain cognitive impairment/dementia. We used a sensitive search statement ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Many cognitive screening instruments (CSI) are available to clinicians to assess cognitive function. The optimal method comparing the diagnostic utility of such tests is uncertain. The effect size (Cohen's d), calculated as the difference of the means of two groups divided by the weighted pooled standard deviations of these groups, may permit such comparisons. METHODS Datasets...

INTRODUCTION Among the nonmotor features of Parkinson's disease (PD), cognitive impairment is one of the most troublesome problems. New diagnostic criteria for mild and major neurocognitive disorder (NCD) in PD were established by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th edition (DSM-5). The aim of our study was to establish the diagnostic accuracy of widely used screening test...

Mild cognitive impairment is common in nondemented Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and may be a harbinger of dementia. In view of its importance, the Movement Disorder Society commissioned a task force to delineate diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment in PD. The proposed diagnostic criteria are based on a literature review and expert consensus. This article provides guidelines to...

background: the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the cognitive impairment and naa/cr and cho/cr ratios in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1hmrs), and to assess the importance of 1hmrs in the early diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic white matter lesions (wmls). materials and methods: a total of 45 patients (23males and 22 femal...

The aim of the present work was to present significant cognitive impairment in 7 children with normal neuroimaging and electroencefalography results. In 6 children we observed difficulties in verbal auditory learning, in 3 visual memory impairment, and in 1 a disorder of visuo-spatial analysis and synthesis abilities. The clinical examinations performed during the diagnostic process (MRI, CT, E...

The influence of interdisciplinary forces stemming from developments in cognitive science, mathematical statistics, educational psychology, and computing science are beginning to appear in educational and psychological assessment. Computer adaptiveattribute testing (CA-AT) is one example. The concepts and procedures in CA-AT can be found at the intersection between computer adaptive testing and...
