Introduction: The INECO digital neuropsychological test battery is a valid tool for the assessment of attention, episodic memory, working memory and processing speed in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. This battery allows us to make an adequate remote assessment of patients cognitive status, being more efficient in terms of costs and time.
Objectives: To compare the performance on the INECO digital neuropsychological test battery in individuals with relapsing remitting MS and healthy controls, in order to obtain normative values.
Methods: The INECO digital neuropsychological test battery and a standard neuropsychological assessment was administered to 33 relapsing remitting MS patients and 70 healthy controls in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mean age: 39,16 years old (9,011). Every subject had at least 12 years of education. We used T test to evaluate the differences between the groups. Alpha score established was 0.05.
Results: Groups did not differ with regard to demographic variables (age, sex and years of education). We found significant differences in the performance on IFS, phonemic verbal fluency, processing speed index (WAIS-III), Rey auditory verbal learning test and Rey complex figure test between MS patients and controls, in the standart assesment. We also found significant differences between the two groups in the performance on computerized test that assessed attention, working memory, processing speed and episodic verbal and visual memory. Normative values were matched by age according to the interval superposition strategy.
Conclusions: The INECO digital neuropsychological test battery is a sensitive tool for the assessment of attention, executive functions and episodic memory in relapsing remitting MS patients. We obtained normative values for adults (18 to 60 years old).
