Attention or memory deficits? An HIV study in Shanghai using local and norm-based controls
Neurocognitive impairments in PLWH from Shanghai primarily involve attention/working memory and executive function. However, norm-based analysis emphasized impairments in memory and learning, underscoring significant discrepancies between local controls and outdated norms. These findings underscore the limitations of relying on outdated norms for evaluating neurocognitive impairment and emphasize the importance of developing updated, localized norms for accurate diagnosis and effective interventions.
