Abstract

A majority of patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) display behavioral disturbances of varying degrees of severity. These disturbances include both behavioral excesses and deficits. The behavioral excesses reported in this population include physical aggression, wandering, and disruptive vocalization, to name but a few (Burgio et al., 1988b). Disruptive behaviors have been reported in at least 50% of individuals diagnosed with DAT (Cummings et al., 1987). Research has shown that individuals with dementia frequently display severe deficits in performing activities of daily living such as feeding, bathing, and dressing (Burgio et al., 1988b). Although these deficits are, in part, a natural result of the dementing illness, it has long been recognized by gerontologists that many demented individuals display “excess deficits” (Brody et al., 1971), i.e., symptoms of functional incapacity greater than those warranted by the actual organic impairment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
