Concordance Between Subtest-Based and Domain Score-Based Determinations of Cognitive Impairment on the SNSB-II

Key Points

Individuals with mild cognitive impairment show low concordance in memory assessments, suggesting greater consideration of both scoring methods is necessary.
Moderate agreement exists for attention, language, and visuospatial function as determined by subtests and domain scores in assessments of cognitive impairment.
Subtest-based evaluations may provide more nuanced insights into specific cognitive deficits than general domain scores alone.
Highlighting these findings supports a comprehensive approach to cognitive impairment diagnosis, improving accuracy for treatment plans.

Abstract

Concordance between the 2 classification methods was moderately high for Attention, Language, and Visuospatial Function but substantially lower for Memory and Frontal/Executive Function, especially in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. These findings highlight the need to consider both subtest-level performance and domain scores when determining impairment in memory or frontal/executive function.
