abstract = {Socio-cognitive assessment in neurocognitive disorders
(NCDs) is rare in clinical practice and no consensus exists
as to a uniform operationalization of socio-cognitive
measures for NCDs in memory clinics. The SIGNATURE
initiative aims to optimize the use of socio-cognitive
measures in memory clinics, defining expert recommendations.
We report consortium guidelines for the use of
socio-cognitive measures in NCDs based on available evidence
from the literature and the current state of practices in
memory clinics.Using a Delphi consensus method supported by
a literature review and the results of an international
survey, 22 specialists defined recommendations for the
context of use, relevance in NCD diagnosis, priorities for
future research and facilitators/obstacles of
socio-cognitive assessment in major and mild NCDs.Overall,
panelists recommended social cognition testing in routine
diagnostic assessment to evaluate both socio-cognitive and
socio-behavioral alterations. A set of clinical,
methodological, implementation and external factors
facilitating or hampering the use of socio-cognitive tasks
was identified.This is the first focused endeavor to favor
the implementation of socio-cognitive assessment, which is
required by DSM-5 but seldom performed despite clear
evidence of its clinical relevance for diagnosis and care.
Our results provide an initial set of recommendations,
refinable through the future actions of the SIGNATURE
initiative. Future collaborative clinical research projects
should overcome current limitations and foster the use of
ecological and cross-culturally validated measures in
clinics.},
