The Test for Severe Impairment: An Instrument for the Assessment of Patients with Severe Cognitive Dysfunction
Abstract
Objective: To develop a reliable and valid test of cognitive function suitable for patients with severe cognitive impairment. Design: Administration of a test; test‐retest reliability; comparison to traditional test. Setting: Chronic long‐term‐care facility. Patients or Other Participants: The participants were 40 elderly residents with severe cognitive impairment. Main Outcome Measures: Results of the Test for Severe Impairment (TSI) and its subsections (language, memory, executive function, and motor performance); correlation of test and retest scores; correlation of TSI with Mini‐Mental State Exam. Results: The TSI was significantly correlated with the Mini‐Mental State Exam ( r = 0.83, P ≤ 0.0001). Test‐retest reliability was high ( r = 0.96, P < 0.0001). The internal reliability of the test was also good (alpha = 0.90). Preliminary result of a factor analysis suggests that factor scores may be derived that relate to memory, language production, and knowledge of body parts. Conclusions: The TSI is a valid and reliable test of cognitive function in patients with severe cognitive impairment. It is appropriate to use it as a unified scale.

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.
