Evaluation of Simulated Presence: A Personalized Approach to Enhance Well‐Being in Persons with Alzheimer's Disease
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Simulated Presence, a personalized approach to enhance well-being among nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia's (ADRD). Design Latin-Square, double blinded, 3-factor design with restrictive randomization of three treatments (the study intervention, a placebo audio tape of a person reading the newspaper, and usual care). The three factors were treatment, time, and facility type. Setting Nine nursing homes in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Participants Fifty-four subjects with documented ADRD who were aged 50 years or older, medically stable, had resided in their current nursing home for at least 3 months, and who had no planned discharge. All subjects had a history of agitated or withdrawn behaviors. Intervention The purpose of Simulated Presence is to provide a personalized intervention for persons with moderate to severe cognitive impairment. Through a unique testing process, some of the best loved memories of the ADRD person's lifetime are identified and then those memories are introduced to the patient in the format of a telephone conversation using a continuous play audio tape system. The intervention may be used for extended periods of time because each repetition is viewed as a fresh, live telephone call as a result of the short-term memory deficit of the person with ADRD. Measurements Direct observations of outcomes included using a newly developed scale, the Scale for the Observati…

In multiple sclerosis, the frequency of anxiety disorders varies from 19 to 34%, which according to one study represents a prevalence three times higher than that of depressive disorders.
“Dans la sclérose en plaques, la fréquence des troubles anxieux varie de 19 à 34%, ce qui représenterait selon une étude, une prévalence trois fois supérieure à celle des troubles dépressifs [31].”

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.
