Establishing Diagnostic Cut-Off Scores for the Perceived Cognitive Impairment Subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function-Version 3 in Portuguese Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) negatively impacts the quality of life of non-central nervous system (non-CNS) cancer survivors. Detecting these cognitive changes remains challenging due to the lack of standardized CRCI classification and detection criteria. This study aimed to establish cut-off scores for the perceived cognitive impairment (CogPCI) subscale of the European Portuguese version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function-Version 3 (FACT-Cog-v3).

Methods

We analyzed data from 266 Portuguese-speaking non-CNS cancer survivors and performed a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the diagnostic validity of the CogPCI subscale of the FACT-Cog-v3 to detect meaningful perceived CRCI.
