Performance validity test failure rates among neuropsychological outpatients clinically referred for persistent Long COVID cognitive symptoms following mild SARS-CoV-2 disease severity.

A study in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology examined how often patients referred for neuropsychological evaluation of persistent Long COVID cognitive symptoms failed performance validity tests (PVTs), which are used to assess whether test effort and results are credible.

Understanding PVT failure rates in this population has implications for accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate rehabilitation, including cognitive and physical therapy interventions.
