The Russian version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen: Validation study on stroke survivors.

Abstract

The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) is a screening tool for the assessment of poststroke deficits in attention, memory, praxis, language, and number processing. The goal of the present study was to develop a Russian version of the OCS (Rus-OCS) via translation of the original battery, its cultural and linguistic adaptations, and reporting preliminary findings on its psychometric properties. Method: All parts of OCS were translated by native Russian-speaking neuropsychologists. Russian-speaking stroke patients (N ϭ 205) were assessed with the Rus-OCS. Their performance was compared with performance of 60 healthy Russian-speaking adults aged between the ages of 18 and 91 years. The performance of 15 stroke patients and 42 healthy adults were assessed with a parallel version within 7 days of first testing. Convergent validity of the Rus-OCS was established via correlations with comparable tasks. Performance of three stroke groups with different lesion lateralization (right, left, and bilateral) was compared on language and visual attention subtasks. Preliminary normative data based on 5th to 95th percentile were also reported. Results: Measures of internal consistency and test-retest reliability ranged from acceptable to very good and estimates of convergent validity ranged from moderate to high. Sensitivity and specificity was found to range from .56 to 1 and from .73 to 1, respectively. Significant differences in performance between stroke and healthy groups on all subtasks confirmed the discriminative power of the Rus-OCS was good. Conclusions: Rus-OCS is a promising cognitive screening instrument for Russian-speaking patients. However, further validation is needed. Constraints of socioeconomic differences between Russian speakers in the wider population should be considered.

The Oxford Digital Multiple Errands Test (OxMET): Validation of a Simplified Computer Tablet Based Multiple Errands Test

“…This approach fits strongly with similar approaches taken by our research group on translations for the Oxford Cognitive Screen (e.g. Robotham, Riis & Demeyere, 2020;Shendyapina et al, 2019) and OCS-Plus (Demeyere et al 2020preprint ref Demeyere et al, 2020).…”

The Dutch version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS-NL): normative data and their association with age and socio-economic status

“…These features make the OCS more inclusive for the stroke population than brief dementia screens (Demeyere et al, 2016) and more sensitive for post-stroke cognitive impairments than the MoCA (Demeyere et al, 2016) and the MMSE (Mancuso et al, 2018). Since the release of the OCS in 2015, several cultural adaptations and translations have been published: the Cantonese (Kong et al, 2016), Chinese Mandarin (Hong et al, 2018), Italian (Mancuso et al, 2016), Brazilian Portuguese (Ramos et al, 2018), Russian ( Shendyapina et al, 2018), Spanish (Valera-Gran et al, 2019) and Danish translations (Robotham, Riis, & Demeyere, 2019). The different normative studies show considerable consistency of cut-off scores across languages (Table 1).…”

“…Moreover, longitudinal and cross-sectional ageing studies have shown that there are domainspecific cognitive changes throughout the lifespan (Hedden & Gabrieli, 2004;Whalley, Deary, Appleton, & Starr, 2004). Studies have shown that executive functions and language production decline across the adult lifespan, while semantic knowledge, language comprehension and recognition performance remain more stable (Hedden & Gabrieli, 2004;Hooren et al, 2007; While cut-off scores of the OCS have been reported for specific education and age groups in the different normative studies (Demeyere et al, 2015;Hong et al, 2018;Kong et al, 2016;Mancuso et al, 2016;Robotham et al, 2019;Shendyapina et al, 2018;Valera-Gran et al, 2019), the association of OCS performance with other socio-economic characteristics, income and occupational status, has not been investigated yet.…”

Long-term psychological consequences of stroke (OX-CHRONIC): A longitudinal study of cognition in relation to mood and fatigue after stroke: Protocol

“…The OCS has been widely adopted for clinical use within the NHS, as well as various sites internationally, as it has been culturally and language adapted in seven other countries (e.g. 26 – 28 ) with more currently under development.…”
