Popis: s / Brain Stimulation 8 (2015) 360e377 362 55% for attention in patients; 37% for executive function to 66% for memory in caregivers). Patient/caregiver agreement was moderate in 3 domains (kappa > 0.40). Objective deficit identification was poor among patients (8% to 45%) and caregivers (12% to 40%). Memory, visuospatial and executive problem report by caregivers was adequately verified (75% to 86%), but patient report only for memory (83%). Discussion: Findings suggests that patient report lacks sensitivity to objectively verified cognitive deficits, though specificity is good for memory. Patient report may be adequate to confirm a general cognitive problem, but should not be relied upon in DBS candidates to identify specific cognitive impairments. Neuropsychological evaluation is preferable to patient report to identify cognitive adverse events (e.g., frontal syndrome) in regulatory filings.
