Determine the influence of technician supervision on computer-administered cognitive tests in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Eighty MS patients underwent assessment using the CogState Brief Battery (CSBB) and the Cleveland Clinic Cognitive Battery (C3B). Each was administered twice, once with a technician guiding assessment, and once with technician-absent. Twenty-eight healthy controls were also evaluated.
The influence of technician guidance was not statistically significant for group means on either test. For CSBB, administration problems were more common in the technician-absent condition.
In this MS sample, reliable and valid test results were obtained from computer-assisted cognitive testing without technician guidance.
确定技术员监督对多发性硬化症(MS)中计算机管理认知测试的影响。
80 名 MS 患者使用 CogState 简明电池(CSBB)和克利夫兰诊所认知电池(C3B)进行评估。每个患者进行两次测试,一次由技术员指导评估,一次无技术员指导。还对 28 名健康对照者进行了评估。
在两次测试中,技术员指导的影响对组平均值均无统计学意义。对于 CSBB,在无技术员指导的情况下,出现管理问题的情况更为常见。
在这个 MS 样本中,无需技术员指导即可从计算机辅助认知测试中获得可靠有效的测试结果。
