It was originally validated in England for acute stroke patients. In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Dutch OCS (OCS-NL). Methods A total of 193 (99 acute stroke unit, 94 rehabilitation unit) patients were included in our study. A subset of patients (n = 128) completed a retest with the parallel version of the OCS-NL. Results First, we did not find evidence for a difference in prevalence of impairment between patients in the acute stroke versus rehabilitation unit on all but one of the subtests. For praxis, we observed a 14% lower prevalence of impairment in the rehabilitation than the acute stroke unit. Second, the parallel-form reliability ranged from weak to excellent across subtests. Third, in stroke patients below age 60, the OCS-NL had a 92% sensitivity relative to the MoCA, while the MoCA had a 55% sensitivity relative to the OCS-NL. Last, although left-hemispheric stroke patients performed worse on almost all MoCA subdomains, they performed similarly to right-hemispheric stroke patients on non-language domains on the OCS-NL. Conclusions Our results suggest that the OCS-NL is a reliable cognitive screen that can be used in acute stroke and rehabilitation units. The OCS-NL may be more sensitive to detect cognitive impairment in young stroke patients and less likely to underestimate cognitive abilities in left-hemispheric stroke patients than the MoCA. | Notes: | Huygelier, H (corresponding author), Katholieke Univ Leuven, Brain & Cognit, Leuven, Belgium.; Huygelier, H (corresponding author), Katholieke Univ Leuven, Leuven Brain Inst, Leuven, Belgium. hanne.huygelier@kuleuven.be |
