Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment is prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS) and often not effectively monitored by standard assessments; tools like the Audio Recorded Cognitive Screen (ARCS) and Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) can help in clinical settings.
- A study analyzed the sensitivity of ARCS and BICAMS by assessing MS patients and healthy controls, revealing that ARCS had strong predictive ability for cognitive impairment and better identified higher levels of impairment compared to BICAMS.
- Although both tests are similarly sensitive for cognitive dysfunction, memory assessments from either are the strongest indicators of employment status, with BICAMS being slightly more effective for predicting work productivity.
