The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS; Randolph, 1998), a neuropsychological screening measure initially designed to assess the cognitive deficits associated with dementia, has since been clinically implemented with other neurological populations including traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study evaluated the clinical utility of the RBANS in a TBI population by comparing the profiles of 51 TBI cases and 34 non-head-injured controls. Across RBANS' Index Scores, the TBI group performed at a significantly lower level than the controls; sensitivity to TBI and likelihood ratios ranged from modest to strong; and specificity was high. Particularly efficacious was the clinical efficiency exhibited by the Total Scale Index (summary score) of the RBANS.
用于评估神经心理状态的可重复性成套测验（RBANS；伦道夫，1998年），这是一种最初设计用于评估与痴呆症相关的认知缺陷的神经心理筛查工具，此后已在包括创伤性脑损伤（TBI）在内的其他神经疾病人群中得到临床应用。本研究通过比较51例TBI病例和34例非头部受伤对照的概况，评估了RBANS在TBI人群中的临床效用。在RBANS的各项指数得分中，TBI组的表现显著低于对照组；对TBI的敏感性和似然比从中度到高度不等；特异性较高。RBANS总量表指数（总分）所显示的临床效率尤其显著。
