Implication

Cross-sectional study evaluates diagnostic accuracy and acceptability of VISION-Cog in older adults with vision impairment, suggesting its potential utility.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the acceptability and diagnostic accuracy of the VISION-Cog protocol for cognitive impairment in individuals with vision impairment.
  • Cross-sectional study of community-dwelling older adults with near vision impairment (NVA ≥0.2 LogMAR) from the PIONEER study.
  • Participants completed the VISION-Cog and MoCA-SG tests, followed by neurologist evaluations.
  • Diagnostic accuracy was analyzed using binary logistic regression and C-statistics to calculate AUC, sensitivity, and specificity.
  • Of 45 participants, 37 (82.2%) completed the VISION-Cog protocol.
  • VISION-Cog achieved an AUC of 0.930, with 100.0% sensitivity and 78.0% specificity against neurologist diagnosis.
  • Participants reported acceptable testing time for VISION-Cog.
