Abstract
>objective: Cognitive dysfunction is a common symptom of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC). Few studies have examined rates and predictors of cognitive performance validity test (PVT) failure in patients seeking treatment for PCC.
>methods: We report the rates of PVT failure in 323 patients who received care in a long-COVID-19 clinic for any post-COVID-19 health concern and underwent routine telephone cognitive testing that included two embedded PVTs. Binary logistic regressions examined the demographic, illness, and psychological variables associated with PVT failure.
>results: The prevalence of single PVT failure ranged from 4.7% to 26.1% whereas failure on both PVTs occurred in just 6.3%. Illness characteristics, subjective cognitive dysfunction, and most demographic and psychological variables were unrelated to single PVT failure. Males and those with anxiety were more likely to fail both PVTs.
>conclusion: Failure across multiple PVTs was not common and was unrelated to COVID-19 severity or cognitive complaints.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original contributions dealing with psychological aspects of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders arising out of dysfunction of the central nervous system. Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology will also consider manuscripts involving the established principles of the profession of neuropsychology: (a) delivery and evaluation of services, (b) ethical and legal issues, and (c) approaches to education and training. Preference will be given to empirical reports and key reviews. Brief research reports, case studies, and commentaries on published articles (not exceeding two printed pages) will also be considered. At the discretion of the editor, rebuttals to commentaries may be invited. Occasional papers of a theoretical nature will be considered.
