Abstract Details

Reliability of the Neuro-ophthalmic Aspects of a Telemedicine Exam in Concussion (Tele-BCPE)
Neuro-ophthalmology/Neuro-otology
P11 - Poster Session 11 (5:30 PM-6:30 PM)
10-004
To determine intermodality (in-person vs. telemedicine examination) and inter-examiner (two tele-examiners) agreement for capturing neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of concussion using the Telemedicine Buffalo Concussion Physical Examination (Tele-BCPE), a 29 item validated instrument for remote evaluation of the neurological manifestations of concussion.
It is unknown whether concussion can be examined reliably using telemedicine; such assessments are especially important for neuro-ophthalmic findings.  The Tele-BCPE is a standardized telemedicine concussion exam that includes 7 neuro-ophthalmic elements (optic nerve, ocular motility, smooth pursuits, repetitive saccades, vestibulo-ocular reflex, and two tests of near point of convergence).  
Twenty-one patients evaluated within two weeks of suspected concussion participated.  Their treating neurologist examined them in-person and via telemedicine.  Another neurologist performed a second telemedicine examination. Cohen’s kappa measured agreement between elements, scored as present vs. absent, of the two tele-examinations and between the in-person and tele-examinations (inter-modality agreement). Intraclass correlation coefficients were used to determine agreement between total scores of the Tele-BCPE for in-person vs. tele- exam and between the two tele-exams.
There was at least moderate agreement (kappa > 0.41) for 3 of 7 neuro-ophthalmic elements between in person and tele-examination by a single examiner and at least moderate agreement for 4 of 7 examination subcategories between two different tele-examiners.  For total scores incorporating only neuro-ophthalmic examination elements, inter-modality agreement (in-person vs. telemedicine, intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.78) was in the “excellent” range. Inter-rater agreement (for two telemedicine raters, ICC = 0.49) was in the low-moderate reliability range (ICC >0.75).  
Standardized neuro-ophthalmic assessments performed by the same examiner are highly reliable, even when performed across modalities of in-person vs. telemedicine settings.  Agreement is at least moderate when two different telemedicine examiners assess the same patients when using standardized examinations such as the Tele-BCPE.
