AnnotationThe interrater reliability of BEHAVE-AD, a psychiatric rating scale designed to evaluate behavioural disturbances in dementia patients, was studied in English-speaking US patients and a French-speaking elderly patient population from France. Score analysis indicates that behavioural disturbances become most severe in the moderate and moderately severe stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). BEHAVE-AD provides basic knowledge about the nature and severity of behavioural symptoms in AD, and may also be useful for psychopharmacological management of disturbances in AD.
