The Perception and Attention Functions test battery as a measure of neurocognitive impairment in patients with suspected central disorders of hypersomnolence.

In conclusion, the multidimensional WAF test battery detects cognitive impairment even in patients that complain of excessive daytime sleepiness but have normal Multiple Sleep Latency Test results. WAF tests offer valuable information that adds to the existing polysomnographic measures in discriminating patients with different types of chronic excessive daytime sleepiness. The results provide new insights into cognitive dysfunction underlying different types of chronic excessive daytime sleepiness. PMID: 28771870 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
