Content development of the VISION-Cog: a novel tool to assess cognitive impairment in visually impaired older adults in Singapore.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Current cognitive screening and diagnostic instruments rely on visually dependent tasks and are, therefore, not suitable to assess cognitive impairment (CI) in visually impaired older adults. We describe the content development of the VISually Independent test battery Of NeuroCOGnition (VISION-Cog)-a new diagnostic tool to evaluate CI in visually impaired older Singaporean adults.

Design

The content development phase consisted of two iterative stages: a neuropsychological consultation and literature review (stage 1) and an expert-panel discussion (stage 2). In stage 1, we investigated currently available neuropsychological test batteries for CI to inform constructions of our preliminary test battery. We then deliberated this battery during a consensus meeting usin
