A performance-based measure for assessing executive functions (EF) is useful to understand patients’ real life performance of EF. This study aimed to develop a performance-based measure of executive functions (PEF) based on the Lezak model and to examine psychometric properties (i.e., unidimensionality and reliability) of the PEF using Rasch analysis in patients with schizophrenia. We developed the PEF in three phases: (1) designing the preliminary version of PEF; (2) consultation with experts, cognitive interviews with patients, and pilot tests on patients to revise the preliminary PEF; (3) establishment of the final version of the PEF and examination of unidimensionality and Rasch reliability. Two hundred patients were assessed using the revised PEF. After deleting items which did not satisfy the Rasch model’s expectations, the final version of the PEF contained 1 practice item and 13 test items for assessing the four domains of EF (i.e., volition, planning, purposive action, and effective performance). For unidimensional and multidimensional Rasch analyses, the 4 domains showed good reliability (i.e., 0.77–0.85 and 0.87–0.90, respectively). Our results showed that the PEF had satisfactory unidimensionality and Rasch reliability. Therefore, clinicians and researchers could use the PEF to assess the four domains of EF in patients with schizophrenia.

“…In order to detect cognitive impairment in their patients, clinicians often rely on short cognitive tests because they are readily available, and require little time and resources. Although numerous other tests are now available, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE; Folstein et al, 1975) is used most frequently, and it is well validated in schizophrenia (Leon et al, 1993;. The content and psychometric properties of this 30-point measure of cognitive status are well known (Tombaugh and McIntyre, 1992).…”

Subgroup analyses show different trajectories between institutionalized and outpatients with schizophrenia. The deterioration observed in institutionalized patients may have to do with greater illness severity, heavier medication load, vascular risk factors, and lack of stimulation in institutional settings. Studies documenting the role of these variables would be useful. Cognitive screening tools that assess executive functions would be interesting to study in schizophrenics, as they may reveal more subtle age-related cognitive changes not measured by the MMSE.

“…In contrast, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [ 13 ], a staple in the assessment of cognitive deficits associated with neurological disorders, is completed on a single printed page of paper in approximately 15 minutes. Although the MMSE is sensitive to the severity of dementia in geriatric samples, it has proven to be unstable and unreliable in psychotic or affective disorders where it underestimates the cognitive disturbance in younger samples and overestimates pathology in older, less educated, or less intelligent samples [ 14 - 17 ].…”

Background: The relevance of persistent cognitive deficits to the pathogenesis and prognosis of bipolar disorders (BD) is understudied, and its translation into clinical practice has been limited by the absence of brief methods assessing cognitive status in Psychiatry. This investigation assessed the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP-S) for the detection of cognitive impairment in BD.
