Implication

Meta-analysis reveals substantially elevated rates of cognitive impairment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, highlighting the importance of routine intellectual assessment.

Key Points

Synthesize published data evaluating global cognitive measures in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to clarify the prevalence and scope of intellectual impairment.
Conducted a systematic review and preliminary meta-analysis compiling published global intelligence data in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Evaluated cognitive outcomes measured by standard psychometric tools, specifically the Wechsler Intelligence Scales and the Stanford-Binet test.
Intellectual disability rates across evaluated cohorts ranged from 20% to 50%, substantially exceeding the approximately 9% prevalence reported in the normally developing population.
Synthesized quantitative outcomes across Full-Scale, Verbal, and Performance intelligence quotients to evaluate specific domains of cognitive vulnerability.
