The NPI is a questionnaire that quantifies behavioral changes in dementia. For each of 12 behavioral domains there are 4 scores: Frequency (scale: 1=occasionally to 4=very frequently), Severity (scale:1=Mild to 3=Severe), Total (frequency x severity), Caregiver distress (scale: 0=not at all distressing to 5=extremely distressing).The NPI Total Score is calculated by adding the Individual Item Scores for all 12 domains, to yield a possible NPI Total Score of 0 to 144. Lower score=less severity. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement.

The CGI rating scale, which measures symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments, is used in clinical studies on mental disorders. CGI Severity scale is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. The assessment is based on severity of mental illness at the time of rating, 0=not assessed, 1=normal, 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; or 7=extremely ill.

The CGI rating scale, which measures symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments, is used in clinical studies on mental disorders. CGI Improvement scale is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the participant's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention: 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse.

The BPRS is designed to measure clinical change in participants and is used as a global measure of psychopathology.

The MMSE is a screening test for cognitive dysfunction. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language). It is a 19 item scale, the total score can range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better function. A positive change score indicates improvement from baseline.

The 12 individual items in NPI that quantify behavioral changes in dementia are delusions, hallucinations, agitation, depression, anxiety, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, euphoria, aberrant motor behavior, nighttime behaviors, and appetite. For each behavioral domain there are 4 scores (refer to outcome 1 for the scoring for frequency, severity, total, caregiver distress). Presence of symptoms (0=no, 1=yes) x ratings for frequency and severity yield a total possible score of 0 to 12 for each item. Lower score=less severity.

The SAS is a 10-item instrument used to evaluate the presence and severity of parkinsonian symptomatology. It is the most commonly used rating scale for Parkinsonism in clinical trials over the past 25 years.

The 12 individual items in NPI that quantify behavioral changes in dementia are delusions, hallucinations, agitation, depression, anxiety, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, euphoria, aberrant motor behavior, nighttime behaviors, and appetite. For each behavioral domain there are 4 scores (refer to outcome 1 for the scoring for frequency, severity, total, caregiver distress). Presence of symptoms (0=no, 1=yes) x ratings for frequency and severity yield a total possible score of 0 to 12 for each item. Lower score=less severity. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement.

The SAS is a 10-item instrument used to evaluate the presence and severity of parkinsonian symptomatology. It is the most commonly used rating scale for Parkinsonism in clinical trials over the past 25 years. The ten items focus on rigidity rather than bradykinesia, and do not assess subjective rigidity or slowness. Items are rated for severity on a 0-4 scale, with definitions given for each anchor point. The total SAS Score has a possible range from 10 to 50.(lower score=less severe). Negative change scores indicate improvement.

The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) is a rating scale that was designed to measure involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia). The AIMS test has a total of twelve items rating involuntary movements of various areas of the patient's body. These items are rated on a five-point scale of severity from 0-4. The scale is rated from 0 (none), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe).

AIMS Total Score is from 0 to 28. A negative change score signifies improvement.

The Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale is a 4-item scale to assess presence and severity of drug-induced akathisia, including both objective items and subjective items, together with a global clinical assessment of akathisia. Global assessment is made on a scale of 0 to 5 with comprehensive definitions provided for each anchor point on scale: 0=absent; 1=questionable; 2=mild akathisia; 3=moderate akathisia; 4=marked akathisia; 5=severe akathisia. Score has a possible range from 0 (absent) to 5 (severe akathisia). Negative change scores indicate improvement in akathisia.

The NPI is a questionnaire that quantifies behavioral changes in dementia. For each of 12 behavioral domains there are 4 scores: Frequency (scale:1=occasionally to 4=very frequently), Severity (scale:1=Mild to 3=Severe), Total (frequency x severity), Caregiver distress (scale: 0=not at all distressing to 5=extremely distressing).The NPI Psychosis Subscale consists of the two domains of Delusions and Hallucinations, calculated by adding the Individual Item Scores, to yield a possible total score of 0 to 24. Lower score=less severity. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement.

The CGI rating scale, which measures symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments, is used in clinical studies on mental disorders. CGI Improvement scale is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the participant's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention: 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse.
