“…The test has also been documented to be the most sensitive ofthe 15 BIT subtests at detecting visuospatial neglect (Halligan et al, 1989). Ishiai et al's (1993) study showed that cancellation tasks or Une bisection tasks were a better indicator of neglect than drawing tasks. The inclusion of a distractor in the Star Cancellation task results in increased sensitivity of this particular subtest.…”

Objective: To test the ability of a previously generated logistic regression model to predict caregiver strain from carer mood, negative affectivity and perceived patient functional ability. Design: Postal prospective survey. Setting: Spouses of community-residing patients identified from hospital stroke registers. Method: Spouses were assessed at three and six months after stroke. A previously derived equation was used to make predictions at three months of their level of strain at six months, which were compared with observed outcomes. Measures: Spouses were asked to complete the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Positive and Negative Affectivity Schedule (PANAS) and to assess patients' independence in activities of daily living on the Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (EADL). Results: Of 409 stroke patients, 276 had an identifiable co-resident spouse and 116 (42%) completed the measures. At three months after stroke, 39 carers (34%) were under significant strain with 40 (35%) under strain at six months. The predictive model using the GHQ-12, PANAS and EADL at three months was 78% accurate in predicting levels of caregiver strain at six months. Conclusion: Carers at risk of later strain could be identified for further followup. Services to provide emotional support to carers might be effective in the reduction of carer strain.

“…The CDT tests visuoconstructive ability and executive function, and also involves numerical and verbal memory (Shulman et al, 1986;Kirk and Kertesz, 1991;Ishiai et al, 1993). Most studies of the CDT in dementia have produced sensitivities within the range of 78% to 100% and speci®cities of 87% to 100% (Wolf-Klein et al, 1989;Tuokko et al, 1992;Mendez et al, 1992;Brodaty and Moore, 1997;Esteban-Santillan et al, 1998).…”

The clock drawing test in primary care: sensitivity in dementia detection and specificity against normal and depressed elderly

The use of the CDT in the detection of dementia syndromes is likely to be more relevant in the primary care context than in specialist settings. The CDT provides good sensitivity and specificity but may not be as sensitive or specific in the general community as previous studies have suggested, particularly in mild dementia. Community-based late life depression does not appear to alter the specificity of the CDT.

“…In the previous study, the performance in the clock drawing test correlated with the verbal IQ in the Wechsler adult intelligence scale (WAIS) in patients with left USN [6]. In this report, the patients with higher WAIS verbal IQ made better performance in drawing dial in the clock, even though they had a left USN.…”
