      assessment of cognitive functioning in Asian patients with schizophrenia.

AB  - Growing interest in cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia has led to 
      the need for a clinician-friendly cognitive instrument. The Schizophrenia 
      Cognition Rating Scale (SCoRS), recognized for its brevity and ease of 
      administration, has proven to be a valid and reliable measure of overall 
      cognition in schizophrenia patients. However, there has been no such validation 
      in an Asian context. This SCoRS validation study involved 103 patient and 48 
      control subjects within an Asian population. Test-retest reliability, sensitivity 
      of the instrument to cognitive differences between patients with schizophrenia 
      and healthy controls as well as validity by comparing with a standardised 
      performance-based cognitive battery, the Brief Assessment of Cognition in 
      Schizophrenia (BACS) were assessed. Our findings indicated that SCoRS is highly 
      reliable (ICC=0.984) and sensitive to cognitive dysfunction. SCoRS is 
      significantly correlated with BACS composite scores and predicted functional 
      outcomes as measured by Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and World Health 
      Organisation-Quality of Life (WHO QOL) within an Asian population. SCoRS 
      represents a clinician-friendly cognitive assessment tool that incorporates 
      third-party feedback and might be employed in clinical practice to better 
      evaluate and manage schizophrenia.
