Extract

The usefulness of data generated by clinical trials of patients with behavioral disturbances of dementia depends heavily on the study design and the measures used to determine patient outcomes. Several rating scales are available to assess general behavioral problems, agitation, and depression in patients with dementia. The appropriate rating tool depends not only on the purpose of the study but also on whether the measure meets the criteria discussed subsequently.
