Accessible summary Many services use carer questionnaires to decide whether people with Down's syndrome are developing dementia., Using one of these questionnaires (the DLD), we looked at how well carers agreed with each other., Only 15% of carers achieved 'good' agreement., Carers agreed more with...

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Harcourt Test Publishers). Because dementia is indicated by the magnitude of changes in scores between longitudinal assessments, interinformant agreement is paramount. We carried out the DLD interview independently with two carers for each of 26 people with Down's syndrome. Only 15% of pairs of carers achieved 'good' agreement. Levels of agreement varied widely across the DLD subscales and individual questions. Interinformant agreement was better for less able people with Down's syndrome than for more able individuals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
