Psychiatric symptoms and nursing home placement of patients with Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

Two hundred ten community-dwelling patients with Alzheimer's disease were examined prospectively by psychiatrists as part of a longitudinal study. Twenty-five of these patients who were institutionalized during the next 3 years were then matched to 25 patients who were not institutionalized, and the groups were compared. The patients who had been institutionalized had higher scores on standardized psychiatric rating scales but not on formal neuropsychological tests of cognition. These results suggest that potentially treatable (noncognitive) behavioral and psychiatric symptoms are risk factors for institutionalization, and that treating these symptoms might delay or prevent institutionalization of some patients.

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.
