Accurate identification of neurocognitive impairment associated with HIV infection (and other CNS-involved conditions) is dependent upon utilization of appropriate normative neuropsychological test performance data from healthy individuals with a similar background, culture, and characteristics of the target individual or group to be tested. In India, regional differences in language, culture, and availability of resources can significantly affect performance on neuropsychological testing. This study developed age- and education-adjusted normative data for commonly used neuropsychological test scores for use in northern India.
准确识别与HIV感染（以及其他涉及中枢神经系统的疾病）相关的神经认知障碍，取决于能否利用来自背景、文化和特征与待测试个体或群体相似的健康个体的适当标准化神经心理学测试表现数据。在印度，语言、文化和资源可用性方面的地区差异会显著影响神经心理学测试的表现。本研究针对印度北部常用的神经心理学测试分数制定了年龄和教育程度调整后的标准化数据。
