Article Synopsis
- A new cognitive assessment tool called BICAMS was developed for evaluating cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, aiming to be simple for clinical use.
- The study involved 192 MS patients comparing their performances on BICAMS and the Brief Repeatable Battery (BRB), with a significant focus on identifying cognitive impairment based on established scoring criteria.
- Results showed moderate agreement between the two assessment tools, indicating that BICAMS is a viable option for clinical practice, especially when specific tests like the SDMT are included in the evaluation.
Background: BICAMS (Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis) has been recently developed as brief, practical and universal assessment tool for cognitive impairment in MS subjects. It includes the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), the California Verbal Learning Test-2 (CVLT2) and the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) . In this study we aimed at gathering regression based normative data for the BICAMS battery in the Italian population.
