A comparison was made between sets of psychometric variables [the Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly (CAPE)] and personal socio-demographic variables in predicting the outcome of psychogeriatric day care. Two groups of elderly patients referred for day care were investigated: 40 new admissions to a psychogeriatric day centre and 63 new admissions to psychogeriatric day hospitals. Discriminant function analysis was employed to compare the classification accuracy obtained from the personal socio-demographic variables and the CAPE psychometric data. The results demonstrated the incremental validity of the CAPE in predicting outcome of day care in both settings and support the routine use of such brief measures as appropriate screening procedures in these settings.
在预测老年精神科日间护理结果方面，对心理测量变量集[老年人克利夫顿评估程序（CAPE）]和个人社会人口统计学变量进行了比较。对两组被转诊接受日间护理的老年患者进行了调查：40名新入住老年精神科日间中心的患者和63名新入住老年精神科日间医院的患者。采用判别函数分析来比较从个人社会人口统计学变量和CAPE心理测量数据获得的分类准确性。结果表明，CAPE在预测两种环境下的日间护理结果方面具有递增效度，并支持在这些环境中常规使用此类简短测量作为适当的筛查程序。
