Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Agitated behaviors are one of the most frequent reasons that patients with dementia are placed in long-term care settings. This study aims to validate the ability of a custom Body Sensor Network (BSN) to capture the presence of agitation against currently accepted subjective measures, the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) and the Aggressive Behavior Scale (ABS) and to discriminate between agitation and cognitive decline. METHODS: Six patients identified as being at high risk for agitated behaviors were enrolled in this study. The devices were applied at three sites for three hours while behaviors were annotated simultaneously and subsequently repeated twice for each enrolled subject. RESULTS: We found that the BSN was a valid measure of agitation based on construct validity testing and secondary validation using non-parametric ANOVAs. DISCUSSION: The BSN shows promise from these pilot results. Further testing with a larger sample is needed to replicate these results.

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.
