AnnotationThe purpose of this article is to provide data for the interpretation of reliable change in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory: Nursing Home version (NPI-NH) scores for geriatric neuropsychiatric patients. It does so, with reference to 52 geriatric psychiatric patients being tested twice at a 72-hour interval. The authors note the need for caution in interpreting differences between the results of the tests, which may be due to measurement error. (RH).
