PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To identify which neuropsychological tests have been used to evaluate chemotherapy-induced impairment in various domains of cognitive function in patients with breast cancer and to determine the sensitivity of each of the tests through estimation of effect size.
Original studies published from 1966-June 2006.
Although an array of neuropsychological tests are available to measure the various domains of cognitive function, information is lacking regarding the sensitivity and specificity of the tests to detect changes in cognitive function from chemotherapy.
This meta-analysis provides initial data on the sensitivity of some neuropsychological tests to determine chemotherapy-induced changes in cognitive function in patients with breast cancer.
The identification of sensitive neuro-psychological tests is crucial to further understanding of chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairments.
目的/目标：确定哪些神经心理学测试被用于评估乳腺癌患者化疗引起的认知功能各领域损害，并通过效应大小估计来确定每项测试的敏感性。
1966年至2006年6月发表的原始研究。
尽管有一系列神经心理学测试可用于测量认知功能的各个领域，但缺乏关于这些测试检测化疗引起的认知功能变化的敏感性和特异性的信息。
这项荟萃分析提供了一些神经心理学测试的敏感性的初步数据，以确定化疗引起的乳腺癌患者认知功能变化。
识别敏感的神经心理学测试对于进一步了解化疗引起的认知障碍至关重要。
