A sample of 261 elderly patients, most with a diagnosis of dementia, consecutively admitted to a geriatric psychiatry assessment ward, was assessed using the cognitive assessment scale (CAS) and behaviour rating scale (BRS) of CAPE. Scores of patients alive at four follow-up intervals were compared with those of non-survivors. On CAS, survivors scored significantly better at 18- and 48-month follow-up; and better, but not significantly so, at nine- and 36-month follow-up. On BRS, survivors scored significantly better at all four follow-up intervals. Only at 36-month follow-up did the scales predict survival of individual patients more efficiently than did base rates.
对连续入住老年精神病学评估病房的261名老年患者（大多数被诊断为痴呆症），使用CAPE的认知评估量表（CAS）和行为评定量表（BRS）进行评估。将在四个随访间隔期存活的患者得分与未存活者的得分进行比较。在CAS上，存活者在18个月和48个月随访时得分显著更高；在9个月和36个月随访时得分更高，但差异不显著。在BRS上，存活者在所有四个随访间隔期得分均显著更高。仅在36个月随访时，这些量表比基础概率更有效地预测了个体患者的存活情况。
