Screening for cognitive dysfunction in SLE patients - a podcast by BMJ Group

Duane Peters from the Lupus Foundation of America interviews Jennifer He from the University of Western Ontario in Canada about her research into using neuropsychological battery tests to determine the degree of cognitive dysfunction in lupus patients. A high degree of variability in performance across multiple tests (a high dispersion score) is associated with a higher risk of cognitive dysfunction, so this can be a useful screening/diagnostic tool.
