Abstract

AbstractBackgroundEvaluating intelligence using conventional tools is very complex in patients with Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS), as it is time consuming and requires levels of care that are difficult to sustain for this population. Therefore, we explore the ability of a brief test to assess intelligence in these patients.MethodsThis study included individuals with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of PWS, with regular attendance at transdisciplinary treatment in an institution dedicated to the care of rare diseases in Argentina. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC‐IV), the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS‐III) and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K‐BIT) were used.ResultsCorrelation was obtained between the scales in paediatric and adult populations. Within the paediatric population, no significant differences were identified between the WISC‐IV scale (Wechsler for paediatrics) and the K‐BIT (56.4 ± 8.6, vs. 53.4 ± 10.1, P = 0.28), with a good agreement between the methods {intraclass correlation 0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15–0.95]}. Regarding the adult population, the discrimination of the WAIS‐III scale (Wechsler for adults) and the K‐BIT of adults (16 years and over) presented an acceptable concordance [0.77 (95% CI −0.09; 0.93)], although also underestimating the results (58.3 ± 7.2 vs. 51.1 ± 11.2, P < 0.0001).ConclusionsWe observed the feasibility and potential usefulness of a brief intelligence test (K‐BIT) in patients with PWS with an acceptable agreement with conventional tools.
