Abstract

Behavioral problems are thought to be pervasive and devastating to patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's type and their families. Despite this, little empirical data are available concerning the nature of such impairments, their rate of occurrence or their relationship to the disease process. This study investigated 127 patients with a primary diagnosis of dementia of the Alzheimer's type. Two methods of behavioral assessment were employed: a standardized dementia rating scale and a checklist of behavioral problems. Results indicated a) the overall number of problems significantly increased with increased cognitive impairment, b) the types of problems reported varied with cognitive severity, and c) behavioral problems were not significantly associated with patient's age, gender, duration, or age at onset of dementia. These findings are discussed as they relate to the phenomenology of dementia of the Alzheimer's type and to suggestions for interventions at different stages of the disease process. Problems found associated with level of impairment such as wandering, agitation, incontinence, and poor personal hygiene are thought to be characteristic of the disease and therefore predictable. Problems found not associated with level of impairment such as hallucinations, irrational suspicions, falls, and restlessness are likely to be idiosyncratic. The former should probably be incorporated into education and intervention programs; the latter addressed as needed on an individual basis.

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.
