Of 29 patients with a MMSE of less than or equal to 27, 19 patients (66%) exhibited a behavioral problem during hospitalization as rated by the NPI-Q (see Figure 2).
Additionally, as our multivariate analysis reveals, increased ratings on the NPI-Q were associated with lower scores on the MMSE, such that more cognitively impaired patients exhibited a greater quantity and/or severity of behavioral problems.
Alternatively, this may simply reflect the fact that in our ROC analysis we utilized a broad criterion for specifying the occurrence of a behavioral problem, with a rating of one or higher on the NPI-Q considered indicative of the presence of a behavioral problem.
The NPI-Q yields a total severity score, for the patient, which is the sum of the severity scores obtained for each behavioral category.
