Cleveland Clinic Cognitive Battery (C3B): Normative, Reliability, and Validation Studies of a Self-Administered Computerized Tool for Screening Cognitive Dysfunction in Primary Care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The self-administered iPad-based Cleveland Clinic Cognitive Battery (C3B) was designed specifically for the efficient screening of cognitive functioning of older adults in a primary care setting.

Objective

1) Generate regression-based norms from healthy participants to enable demographic corrections to facilitate clinical interpretation; 2) estimate test-retest reliability and practice effects; 3) examine ability to discriminate mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from healthy aging; 4) d etermine validity of screening in a distracting clinical environment; and 5) determine completion rates and patient satisfaction in a primary care setting.

Methods

Study 1 (S1) recruited a stratified sample of 428 healthy adults, ages 18-89, to generate regression-based equations. S2 assessed 2-week test-retest reliability and practice effects in 30 healthy elders. S3 recruited 30 MCI patients and 30 demographically-matched healthy controls. In S4, 30 healthy elders self-administered the C3B in a distracting environment and in a quiet private room in counterbalanced order. In a demonstration project, 470 consecutive primary care patients were administered the C3B as part of routine clinical care (S5).

Results

C3B performance was primarily influenced by age, education, and race (S1), had acceptably high test-retest reliability and minimal practice effects (S2), discriminated MCI from healthy controls (S3), was not negatively impacted by a distracting clinical environment (S4), had high completion rates (>92%) and positive ratings from primary care patients (S5).

Conclusion

The C3B is a computerized cognitive screening tool that is reliable, validated, self-administered, and is conducive to integration into a busy primary care clinical workflow for detecting MCI, early Alzheimer's disease, and other related dementias.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveThere has been an increasing demand for the expertise provided by a renal genetics clinic. Such programs are limited in the United States and typically operate in a genomics research setting. Here we report a 3-year, real-world, single-center renal genetics clinic experience.Study designRetrospective cohort.Setting & participantsOutpatient cases referred to the renal genetics clinic of the Cleveland Clinic between January 2019 and March 2022 were reviewed.Analytical approachClinical and laboratory characteristics were analyzed. All genetic testing was performed in clinical labs.Results309 new patients referred from 15 specialties were evaluated, including 118 males and 191 females aged 35.1 ± 20.3 years. Glomerular diseases were the leading presentation followed by cystic kidney diseases, electrolyte disorders, congenital anomalies of kidneys and urinary tract, nephrolithiasis, and tubulointerstitial kidney diseases. Dysmorphic features were noted in 27 (8.7%) patients. Genetic testing was recommended in 292 (94.5%) patients including chromosomal microarray (8.9%), single-gene tests (19.5%), multigene panels (77.3%), and exome sequencing (17.5%). 80.5% of patients received insurance coverage for genetic testing. 45% (115/256) of patients had positive results, 25% (64/256) had variants of unknown significance, and 22.3% (57/256) had negative results. 43 distinct monogenic disorders were diagnosed. Family history of kidney disease was present in 52.8% of patients and associated with positive genetic findings (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.40-3.74). 69% of patients with positive results received a new diagnosis and/or a change in the diagnosis. Among these, 39.7% (31/78) of patients received a significant change in disease management.LimitationsRetrospective and single-center study.ConclusionsThe renal genetics clinic plays important roles in the diagnosis and management of patients with genetic kidney diseases. Multigene panels are the most frequently used testing modality with a high diagnostic yield. Family history of kidney disease is a strong indication for renal genetics clinic referral.

Project description:Key Points Kidney biopsy registries in the United States are lacking. We provide a multicenter, multistate kidney biopsy database in the United States and identified demographic and clinical trends. Our study catalogs the spectrum of biopsy-proven kidney disease across the Cleveland Clinic enterprise andhighlights the need for a standardized national kidney biopsy registry to bolster glomerular and kidney disease research in the United States. Visual Abstract Background The kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing glomerular diseases. Large-scale, epidemiologic studies describing the prevalence of kidney diseases are lacking, especially in the United States. We aimed to determine the spectrum of biopsy-proven kidney disease across the Cleveland Clinic enterprise. Methods We identified all patients with a native kidney biopsy performed or reviewed at the Cleveland Clinic from January 2015 to September 2021. Retrospective chart review was performed to obtain clinical and demographic characteristics. Results were stratified by age, sex, race, and location to determine epidemiologic trends. Results Of >9600 patients, we excluded transplant and donor biopsies and unavailable records, and included 4128 patients with native kidney biopsy data. The median age was 60 years, with 46% female patients. Self-reported racial demographics included 73% White, 22% Black, 3% multiracial, and 2% Asian background, with 5% Hispanic. Common diagnoses were: FSGS (n=633, 15%), diabetic kidney disease (DKD) (n=602, 15%), IgA nephropathy (n=319, 8%), lupus nephritis (LN) (n=289, 7%), pauci-immune glomerulonephritis (n=275, 7%), membranous nephropathy (n=211, 5%), and amyloidosis (n=110, 3%). There were 3322 patients in Ohio, with 361 patients in Florida. Using multivariate analysis, those aged >70 years were more likely to have FSGS, whereas those <45 years were more likely to have IgA nephropathy or LN. Males were more likely to have FSGS or IgAN, and less likely to have LN. Black patients were more likely to have FSGS, DKD, or LN. Hispanic patients were more likely to have DKD. Finally, patients in Florida were more likely to have LN. There was no change in the disease spectrum before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion Our study catalogs the spectrum of biopsy-proven kidney disease across the Cleveland Clinic enterprise. This lays the foundation for glomerular disease clinical trials, and highlights the need for a standardized national kidney biopsy registry to bolster glomerular and kidney disease research in the United States.

Project description:IntroductionRestrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated remote administration of neuropsychological testing. We assessed the test-retest reliability for a telephone-administered cognitive battery, recommended for use in the National Institute on Aging Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC).Methods64 participants in the University of Southern California ADRC clinical core underwent repeat telephone evaluation using the T-cog Neuropsychological Battery. Reliability was measured by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for continuous variables and weighted Kappa coefficient for categorical variables. Mean scores for Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) total and Craft Story 21 Immediate and Delayed Recall were compared using paired t tests.ResultsMean age was 74.8 (8.3 standard deviation); 73.4% were female. ICCs ranged from 0.52 to 0.84, indicating moderate test-retest reliability except for number span backward, which showed poor reliability. Weighted Kappa for MoCA items ranged from -0.016 to 0.734; however, relatively good observed agreement was seen across all items (70.3% to 98.4%). Although MoCA total scores did not significantly change, Craft Story 21 Immediate and Delayed Recall mean scores increased between first and second administrations (P < 0.0001).DiscussionTest-retest reliability for the T-cog Neuropsychological Battery is adequate. The variation seen in testing is similar to results seen from face-to-face testing, with Craft Story 21 recall showing modest and expected practice effects.HighlightsModerate test-retest reliability is seen in most measures of the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Neuropsychological Test Battery and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).Intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.52 to 0.84, except for number Span backward.Weighted Kappa for MoCA items varied, but good observed agreement was seen.MoCA total mean score did not change significantly between administrations.Craft Story 21 Immediate and Delayed Recall means increased on repeat testing (P < 0.0001).
