Consensus-Harmonized Neuropsychological Assessment for Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia

This consensus statement describes the development of a harmonized neuropsychological assessment battery and guidelines for VCID (VasCog-NP) that expands on the NINDS-CSN battery with more comprehensive and flexible assessment of VCID. Harmonized with the VasCog-2-WSO diagnostic criteria, VasCog-NP could be adopted internationally to further help more consistent neuropsychological evaluations related to VCID, facilitating global comparisons for clinicians and researchers.

Abstract

This consensus statement describes the development of a harmonized neuropsychological assessment battery and guidelines for VCID (VasCog-NP) that expands on the NINDS-CSN battery with more comprehensive and flexible assessment of VCID. Harmonized with the VasCog-2-WSO diagnostic criteria, VasCog-NP could be adopted internationally to further help more consistent neuropsychological evaluations related to VCID, facilitating global comparisons for clinicians and researchers.
