Abstract

A research psychiatrist using a standardized interview found that 94% of a random sample of residents at a large, intermediate-care nursing home had mental disorders according to DSM-III criteria. Primary degenerative dementia and multi-infarct dementia were the most common diagnoses. In addition, the majority of demented patients also had noncognitive symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, and these residents were significantly more likely to have an associated behavioral disorder than were residents without delusions or hallucinations. Replications of these results would point out the need for major revisions in the funding and delivery of psychiatric care for nursing home residents.

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.
