“…In visit 3, all participants first underwent a neuropsychological examination in the afternoon. Examinations included the Wechsler memory scale‐fourth edition (WMS‐IV) and the Cambridge Cognitive Examination‐Revised (CAMCOG‐R). This assesses orientation, language, memory, attention, praxis, calculation, abstraction and perception and includes the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE) .…”

Background Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL‐S) is a small vessel disease caused by C‐terminal truncating TREX1 mutations. The disease is typically characterized by vascular retinopathy and focal and global brain dysfunction. Systemic manifestations have also been reported but not yet systematically investigated. Methods In a cross‐sectional study, we compared the clinical characteristics of 33 TREX1 mutation carriers (MC+) from three Dutch RVCL‐S families with those of 37 family members without TREX1 mutation (MC‐). All participants were investigated using personal interviews, questionnaires, physical, neurological and neuropsychological examinations, blood and urine tests, and brain MRI. Results In MC+, vascular retinopathy and Raynaud's phenomenon were the earliest symptoms presenting from age 20 onwards. Kidney disease became manifest from around age 35, followed by liver disease, anaemia, markers of inflammation and, in some MC+, migraine and subclinical hypothyroidism, all from age 40. Cerebral deficits usually started mildly around age 50, associated with white matter and intracerebral mass lesions, and becoming severe around age 60–65. Conclusions Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations is a rare, but likely underdiagnosed, systemic small vessel disease typically starting with vascular retinopathy, followed by multiple internal organ disease, progressive brain dysfunction, and ultimately premature death.

“…However, no other WMS-IV subtests were administered in Young et al (2012). Finally, it should be stressed that the authorized Dutch version of the WMS-IV is equivalent to the originally published U.S. version (Hendriks et al, 2014;Wechsler, 2009), with a similar factor structure (Bouman et al, 2015). Therefore, it is likely that our results can be extended to other-language versions of the WMS-IV.…”

“…The nonverbal visual stimuli are identical in both language versions, and the instruction, auditory stimuli, and scoring criteria were translated and adapted to the Dutch language. A previous study revealed that the WMS-IV and WMS-IV-NL have a similar factor structure (Bouman, Hendriks, Kerkmeer, Kessels, & Aldenkamp, 2015).…”

Introduction. Recognition and visual working memory tasks from the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV) have previously been documented as useful indicators for suboptimal performance. The present study examined the clinical utility of the Dutch version of the WMS-IV (WMS-IV-NL) for the identification of suboptimal performance using an analogue study design. Method. The patient group consisted of 59 mixed-etiology patients; the experimental malingerers were 50 healthy individuals who were asked to simulate cognitive impairment as a result of a traumatic brain injury; the last group consisted of 50 healthy controls who were instructed to put forth full effort. Results. Experimental malingerers performed significantly lower on all WMS-IV-NL tasks than did the patients and healthy controls. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed on the experimental malingerers and the patients. The first model contained the visual working memory subtests (Spatial Addition and Symbol Span) and the recognition tasks of the following subtests: Logical Memory, Verbal Paired Associates, Designs, Visual Reproduction. The results showed an overall classification rate of 78.4%, and only Spatial Addition explained a significant amount of variation (p < .001). Subsequent logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis supported the discriminatory power of the subtest Spatial Addition. A scaled score cutoff of <4 produced 93% specificity and 52% sensitivity for detection of suboptimal performance. Conclusion. The WMS-IV-NL Spatial Addition subtest may provide clinically useful information for the detection of suboptimal performance.

“…See Table 1 for an overview of subtests comprising the full WMS-IV-NL and each short form. The applied authorized Dutch version of the WMS-IV is equivalent to the original American version and includes the same index scores and subtest scores with a similar factor structure (Bouman, Hendriks, Kerkmeer, Kessels, & Aldenkamp, 2015). The nonverbal visual stimuli are identical to those in the U.S. WMS-IV.…”

Clinical validation of three short forms of the Dutch Wechsler Memory Scale–Fourth Edition (WMS-IV-NL) in a mixed clinical sample

The reliability and validity of three short forms of the Dutch version of the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV-NL) were evaluated in a mixed clinical sample of 235 patients. The short forms were based on the WMS-IV Flexible Approach, that is, a 3-subtest combination (Older Adult Battery for Adults) and two 2-subtest combinations (Logical Memory and Visual Reproduction and Logical Memory and Designs), which can be used to estimate the Immediate, Delayed, Auditory and Visual Memory Indices. All short forms showed good reliability coefficients. As expected, for adults (16-69 years old) the 3-subtest short form was consistently more accurate (predictive accuracy ranged from 73% to 100%) than both 2-subtest short forms (range = 61%-80%). Furthermore, for older adults (65-90 years old), the predictive accuracy of the 2-subtest short form ranged from 75% to 100%. These results suggest that caution is warranted when using the WMS-IV-NL Flexible Approach short forms to estimate all four indices.
