Can doctors predict patients' abbreviated mental test scores.
OBJECTIVES the abbreviated mental test is widely used in the assessment of cognitive impairment in elderly patients. However, many doctors do not administer the full 10 questions, preferring to estimate the patient's score instead. We have studied the accuracy of doctors in predicting patients' abbreviated mental test scores. METHODS we assessed 102 patients in the geriatric unit. We asked do...
متن کاملChoice-based Assessment: Can Choices Made in Digital Games Predict 6th-Grade Students' Math Test Scores?
In this paper, we mined students' sequential behaviors from an instructional game for color mixing called Lightlet. Students playing the game have two broad strategies. They can either test candidate color combinations in an experiment room without risking an incorrect answer. Or they can choose colors from a faux shopping Catalog containing several different mixing charts. While the results sh...

متن کاملEffect of admission fascia iliaca compartment blocks on post-operative abbreviated mental test scores in elderly fractured neck of femur patients: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Post-operative cognitive impairment is common in elderly patients following surgery for hip fracture, with undertreated pain being an important etiological factor. Non-opioid based analgesic techniques, such as nerve blocks, may help reduce the risk of cognitive complications. The aim of this study was to investigate whether receiving a fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) as part ...
متن کاملUsing ITS Generated Data to Predict Standardized Test Scores
This study suggests that the data generated by intelligent tutoring systems can be used to accurately predict end-of-year standardized state test scores. A traditional model including only past performance on the test yielded an R of 0.38 and an enhanced traditional model that added current class average improved predictions (R=0.50). These models served as baseline measures for comparing an IT...
