title: Cognitive screening in multiple sclerosis.
abstract: Cognitive screening tests in multiple sclerosis (MS) are time- and cost-saving test instruments. In the case of a positive test result (alert function) a comprehensive cognitive test procedure should be administered. This paper explains what cognitive screening in MS means and presents several screening instruments used in MS with their statistical test characteristics, e. g. sensitivity and specificity.
