自动化神经精神病学电池已被用于研究和临床实践，包括用于系统性红斑狼疮等慢性病。儿科自动化神经心理评估指标组(Ped-ANAM)最初是为说美国英语的个人开发的，可以跟踪认知功能。它可以适用于9岁以上的人。这项研究的目的是将Ped-ANAM的初步验证数据翻译成巴西葡萄牙语。我们根据比顿的指导原则对电池进行了转换。测量心理测量学特性，用Cronbach‘sα系数分析内部一致性，用组内相关系数(ICC)分析重测信度。此外，我们测量了这两个时间的测试执行速度作为时间稳定性。结构效度采用主成分分析(PCA)。结构效度的证据通过评估与韦氏智力量表的关系来评估。所有参与者在研究相关活动开始前签署了当地伦理委员会批准的知情同意书。样本包括230人[平均(范围)：23(9-60)岁；女性占65%]；51人[平均(范围)年龄：18(9-57)岁，59%女性]完成两次Ped-ANAM以评估重测信度；另一组由54人[平均(范围)：20.4(7-62)岁；67%女性]完成韦氏儿童和成人智力量表，用于评估Ped-ANAM的结构效度。结果表明，PED-ANAM的内部一致性(Cronbach‘sα=0.890)和分测验-重测信度良好(IC值：0.59~0.94)。在主成分分析中没有聚类，这表明评估的变量没有分组。韦氏量表的结构效度评估显示出低相关和强相关的预期范围(斯皮尔曼相关：ρ=0.40到ρ=0.69)。我们的结论是，基于本研究的结果，已经开发出跨文化验证的巴西-葡萄牙版本的Ped-ANAM，它是筛选认知功能的可靠工具。
Automated neuropsychiatric batteries have been used in research and clinical practice, including for chronic diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The Pediatric Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics battery (Ped-ANAM), originally developed for use in American-English speaking individuals, allows tracking of cognitive functions. It can be applied to people over 9 years old. The aim of this study was to translate and present initial validation data from the Ped-ANAM into Brazilian-Portuguese. We translated the battery according to Beaton’s guidelines. Psychometric properties were tested, internal consistency was analyzed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, test-retest reliability by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Further, we measured the test execution speed at both times as a temporal stability. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for structural validity. Evidence of construct validity was assessed through assessment of the relationships with the Wechsler Intelligence Scales. All participants prior to the start of study related activities signed an informed consent form approved by the local ethics committee. A sample of 230 individuals [mean (range) of age: 23 (9 to 60) years; 65% females] was included; a subset of 51 individuals [mean (range) of age: 18 (9 to 57) years, 59% female] completed the Ped-ANAM twice to assess test-retest reliability, and another subset of 54 individuals [mean (range) of age: 20.4 (7 to 62) years; 67% female] completed the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children and Adult for assessment of the Ped-ANAM’s construct validity. Our results suggest that the internal consistency of the Ped-ANAM (Cronbach’s α = 0.890) and its subtest test-retest reliability were excellent (ICC: 0.59 to 0.94). There was no clustering in the Principal Components Analysis, suggestive of non-grouping of the evaluated variables. Construct validity assessment to the Wechsler Scales showed expected ranges of low to strong correlations (Spearman correlations: ρ = 0.40 to ρ = 0.69). We concluded that, based on the results of this study, a cross-culturally validated Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Ped-ANAM has been developed and it is a reliable tool for the screening cognitive function.
