Measures of Cognitive Limitations and Their Relation to Perceived Work Limitations in Breast Cancer Survivors

Abstract

A subset of breast cancer survivors (BCS) experience cognitive deficits that may impact work productivity. There are two methods of measuring cognitive limitations: self-report (perceived) and neuropsychological testing (observed). The gold standard for assessment of cognitive function is observed measurement; however, it is unclear how these measures relate to each other and to work productivity. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors that impact work limitations in BCS and a Non-Cancer Comparison Group (NCCG) and to investigate the relationship between perceived and observed measures of cognitive limitations, accounting for possible confounders in both groups as it pertains to work limitations.
