Psychometric properties and construct validity of the Parkinson’s Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) in Colombia

BackgroundCognitive impairment is frequent among people living with Parkinson’s disease: up to 40% of patients exhibit symptoms of mild cognitive impairment and 25% meet the criteria for dementia. Parkinson’s Disease Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) is one of the recommended scales by the Movement Di...

description BackgroundCognitive impairment is frequent among people living with Parkinson’s disease: up to 40% of patients exhibit symptoms of mild cognitive impairment and 25% meet the criteria for dementia. Parkinson’s Disease Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) is one of the recommended scales by the Movement Disorders Society Task Force for level 1 screening of dementia. However, its psychometric properties have not been studied in the Colombian population.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients with Parkinson’s disease diagnosed by a movement disorders neurologist. Patients were evaluated with PD-CRS and MoCA. Principal component analysis was conducted, and then confirmatory factor analysis was implemented through the maximum-likelihood method. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach α. Convergent and divergent validity were also calculated and concurrent validity with the MoCA was assessed.Results62% were males. Their median age was 68 years (IQR 57–74) and the median disease duration was 4 years (IQR 2–9). 77% were classified in early stages (Hoehn and Yahr stage ≤ 2), while the MDS-UPDRS part III score was 25 (IQR 15.5–38). In the principal component factor analysis, the pattern matrix unveiled a mnesic and a non-mnesic domain. Confirmatory factor analysis showed similar explanatory capacity (λ ≥ 0.50) for items other than naming (λ = 0.34). Cronbach’s α for the full 9-items instrument was 0.74. MoCA and PD-CRS total scores were correlated (ρ = 0.71, p = 0.000). Assuming a cut-off score of 62 points, there is an agreement of 89% with the definition of dementia by MoCA for Colombia (κ = 0.59; p = 0.000).ConclusionPD-CRS has acceptable psychometric properties for the Colombian population and has significant correlation and agreement with a validated scale (MoCA).
