ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Data on cognition in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are limited to studies with small sample sizes. Therefore, we aimed to analyse the extent, characteristics and the longitudinal course of potential cognitive deficits in patients with MOGAD.METHODS:
The CogniMOG-Study is a prospective, longitudinal and multicentre observational study of 113 patients with MOGAD. Individual cognitive performance was assessed using the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT), the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and the Multiple Sclerosis Inventory Cognition (MuSIC), which are standardised against normative data from healthy controls. Cognitive performance was assessed at baseline and at 1-year and 2-year follow-up assessments. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse demographic and clinical predictors of cognitive deficits identified in previous correlation analyses.RESULTS:
At baseline, the study sample of MOGAD patients showed impaired standardised performance on MuSIC semantic fluency (mean=-0.29, 95% CI (-0.47 to -0.12)) and MuSIC congruent speed (mean=-0.73, 95% CI (-1.23 to -0.23)). Around 1 in 10 patients showed deficits in two or more cognitive measures (11%). No decline in cognition was observed during the 1-year and 2-year follow-up period. Cerebral lesions were found to be negatively predictive for SDMT (B=-8.85, 95% CI (-13.57 to -4.14)) and MuSIC semantic fluency (B=-4.17, 95% CI (-6.10 to -2.25)) test performance.CONCLUSIONS:
Based on these data, we conclude that MOGAD patients show reduced visuomotor processing speed and semantic fluency to the extent that the disease burden includes cerebral lesions.
