Abstract

Objective: Teleneuropsychology (teleNP) could potentially expand access to services for patients who are confined, have limited personal access to healthcare, or live in remote areas. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the use of teleNP for cognitive assessments. The main objective of these recommendations is to identify which procedures can be potentially best adapted to the practice of teleNP in Latin America, and thereby facilitate professional decision-making in the region.

Method: Steps taken to develop these recommendations included (1) formation of an international working group with representatives from 12 Latin American countries; (2) assessment of rationale, scope, and objectives; (3) formulation of clinical questions; (4) evidence search and selection; (5) evaluation of existing evidence and summary; and (6) formulation of recommendations. Levels of evidence were graded following the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine system. Databases examined included PubMed, WHO-IRIS, WHO and PAHO-IRIS, Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBCS), and LILACS.

Results: Working group members reviewed 18,400 titles and 422 abstracts and identified 19 articles meeting the criteria for level of evidence, categorization, and elaboration of recommendations. The vast majority of the literature included teleNP tests in the English language. The working group proposed a series of recommendations that can be potentially best adapted to the practice of teleNP in Latin America.

Conclusions: There is currently sufficient evidence to support the use of videoconferencing technology for remote neuropsychological assessments. These recommendations will likely contribute to the advancement of teleNP research and practice in the region.

拉丁美洲远程神经心理学实践工作组建议。
目的:远程神经心理学(teleNP)可以潜在地扩大对受限、个人医疗保健有限或居住在偏远地区的患者的服务。COVID-19大流行的出现大大增加了远程enp用于认知评估的使用。这些建议的主要目标是确定哪些程序可能最适合拉丁美洲的远程规划实践,从而促进该区域的专业决策。方法:为制定这些建议所采取的步骤包括:(1)成立一个由12个拉丁美洲国家的代表组成的国际工作组;(2)对理由、范围和目标的评估;(3)临床问题的制定;(四)证据检索和选择;(五)对现有证据的评价和总结;(6)建议的制定。证据水平是按照牛津循证医学中心系统进行分级的。检查的数据库包括PubMed、WHO- iris、WHO和PAHO-IRIS、Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBCS)和LILACS。结果:工作组成员审查了18400篇标题和422篇摘要,确定了19篇符合证据水平、分类和建议阐述标准的文章。绝大多数文献都包括英语的远程高考。工作组提出了一系列建议,这些建议可能最适合拉丁美洲的电话规划做法。结论:目前有足够的证据支持使用视频会议技术进行远程神经心理学评估。这些建议可能有助于促进本区域的电信政策研究和实践。
