Remote administration of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) requires validation.
Examine interchangeability of remote and in-person SDMT administrations in persons with MS.
After in-person baseline administration, follow-up administration was either performed in-person (n = 72) or remotely via videoconferencing (n = 143). We examined whether raw score change from baseline to follow-up differed between in-person and remote follow-up modalities.
SDMT raw score change did not differ between in-person and remote follow-up modalities (-0.1 ± 5.9 vs -0.2 ± 6.2, p = 0.995, d = 0.008), and correlations between baseline and follow-up were comparable across modalities (0.86 vs 0.88).
Remote and in-person SDMT administrations appear interchangeable.
远程管理符号数字模态测验（SDMT）需要验证。
在多发性硬化症患者中检验远程和当面 SDMT 管理的可互换性。
在当面进行基线管理后，后续管理通过视频会议进行（n=143）或当面进行（n=72）。我们检查了从基线到随访的原始分数变化在当面和远程随访方式之间是否存在差异。
从基线到随访的 SDMT 原始分数变化在当面和远程随访方式之间没有差异（-0.1±5.9 与-0.2±6.2，p=0.995，d=0.008），并且两种方式的基线与随访之间的相关性相当（0.86 与 0.88）。
远程和当面的 SDMT 管理似乎是可互换的。
