[Shortened version of the Barcelona test (II): global standard score].
The aim of this study was to determine a global scoring method for a shortened and version of the Barcelona Neuropsychological test (TB) of 55 items. 341 healthy volunteers, 178 male (52.19%), and 163 female (47.1%) were studied. Age mean: 54.80, SD = 17.44. Subjects were stratified in five groups considering age and education. A scale of cut-off points was selected in order to divide the scores of each subtest into three bands (categories): 0 (lowest), 1 (intermediate), 2 (highest). Raw scores (possible range 0-110) were obtained and then were converted to a mean of 100 and SD of 15 each normative group. Tables of normative data were obtained for each group. This study shows the cognitive profiles of the TB and a global standard score related to them. This global score will provide new possibilities in the neuropsychological assessment of neurological patients.
