Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to establish cut-off scores using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) to identify poor performance in psychiatric patients that may indicate malingering for secondary gain.
- - 261 psychiatric patients were evaluated, categorized into four groups (military service, traumatic brain injury, psychosis, and neurosis), using a specific Digit Span subtest known as Reliable Digit Span (RDS).
- - The results revealed different RDS cut-off scores for each group, with the military service group having a threshold of 7 points, which can help clinicians detect potential malingering in patients.
Objective: Previous studies of cognitive decline in patients with neurocognitive disorder due to traumatic brain injury (NCD-TBI) have often failed to control for baseline factors such as premorbid intelligence.

Methods: Severity of TBI was classified as complicated mild/moderate or severe based on duration of loss of consciousness and brain neuroimaging results.
