The present study sought to evaluate the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR) Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ) estimate as an index of premorbid ability in a sample 574 of healthy college athletes participating in a sports concussion management program. We compared baseline neuropsychological test performance with the WTAR FSIQ estimate obtained at baseline. Results revealed that the discrepancy between actual neuropsychological test scores and the WTAR FSIQ estimate was greatest for those with estimated FSIQs greater than 107. The clinical implication of this finding was evaluated in the 51 participants who went on to sustain a concussion. For individuals with higher IQ estimates, the WTAR estimate obtained post-concussion suggested greater post-concussion decline than that indicated by comparison with actual baseline neuropsychological performance.
本研究旨在评估韦氏成人阅读测验（WTAR）全量表智商（FSIQ）估计值作为 574 名参加运动性脑震荡管理项目的健康大学生运动员的前摄能力指标。我们将基线神经心理学测试表现与基线时获得的 WTAR FSIQ 估计值进行了比较。结果表明，对于那些估计 FSIQ 大于 107 的人，实际神经心理学测试分数与 WTAR FSIQ 估计值之间的差异最大。这一发现的临床意义在 51 名继续遭受脑震荡的参与者中进行了评估。对于智商估计较高的个体，与实际基线神经心理学表现相比，脑震荡后获得的 WTAR 估计值表明脑震荡后下降更大。
