| Abstract: | Objective: To estimate the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of the new Spanish abbreviated version of the Luria Neuropsychological Diagnosis (DNA-2) battery for older adults. Method: A total of thirty cognitively healthy volunteers were examined in this study. The participants completed a comprehensive standardized assessment, encompassing cognitive and functional performance. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to examine test-retest and inter-rater reliability. One month was allowed between administrations. Furthermore, correlations between Luria DNA-2 (total and domain subscores) and other classical cognitive measures were explored. Results: The test-retest reliability on the overall Luria DNA-2 score was high (ICC=.834, 95% CI [.680,.917], p <.001). Furthermore, the inter-rater reliability for the total score demonstrated an excellent concordance between administrators (ICC=.990, 95% CI [.979,.995], p <.001). Positive and significant correlations were observed between Luria DNA-2 (both total and domain subscores) and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-III; ρ =.857, p <.001). Conclusions: This study supports the adequate reliability of the Luria DNA-2, as an abbreviated neuropsychological battery, for assessing cognitive performance in Spaniards aged 55 years and older. Future studies should continue to explore the psychometric properties of the Luria DNA-2, particularly those related to its diagnostic validity for early detection of cognitive impairment.
