Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dementia Symptom Management at Home Program (NCT NCT03255967)

NCT ID: NCT03255967

Last Updated: 2024-01-30

Results Overview

13-item measurement of Alzheimer's disease patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) by proxy (caregiver) assessment. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (poor) to 4 (excellent). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 13 to 52; higher scores indicate greater HRQOL. An increase in scores indicates HRQOL increased during the observational period.

The Caregiver-Targeted Quality of Life (CG-QOL) measure covers 10 dimensions of QOL relevant to caregivers of persons with dementia. The CG-QOL comprises 80 items distributed across the following scales: assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with instrumental ADLs (IADLs), personal time, role limitation due to caregiving, family involvement, demands of caregiving, worry, caregiver feelings, spirituality and faith, benefits of caregiving. The total score for the IADL scale ranges from 0-100; higher scores indicate greater quality of life. An increase in scores indicates quality of life with respect to assistance with IADLs improved during the observational period.

Physical Composite Scores (PCS) are computed using the scores of twelve questions and range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health.
