Total ARCS predicts cognitive impairment with good sensitivity and specificity relative to the BICAMS tests (AUC = 0.8; P = 0.00045). Total ARCS detects higher levels of impairment than BICAMS in MS patients (44% versus 21%). The memory domain of the ARCS and the BVMT-R were the best predictors of employment status (OR = 1.12 and 1.14, P  < 0.05). Conclusion: BICAMS and ARCS have comparable sensitivity for cognitive impairment in MS. Memory assessment from either tests is the best predictor of employment status; however, the BICAMS is a better predictor of work productivity.]]> Wed 23 Nov 2022 15:41:25 AEDT ]]> Feasibility of the audio recorded cognitive screen in the assessment of individuals undergoing electroconvulsive therapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46727 r = 0.75, P < 0.001). Neither apathy nor depression scores were significantly associated with scores on either the RBANS or ARCS. Conclusions: The ARCS was acceptable and convenient in the assessment of cognition in patients undergoing treatment with ECT. In light of its practical advantages, further evaluation of the ARCS for detecting cognitive impairment and tracking cognitive changes during ECT seems warranted.]]> Tue 29 Nov 2022 11:41:30 AEDT ]]>
