The test asks 51 questions in all with a number being red herrings to test for people over-rating themselves. It has been proposed that this is useful for spotting malingerers and hypochondriacs , however its intention in the original research proposal for LUNSERS was to demonstrate the robustness and reliability of self-reporting.
A recent meta-analytic study [13] showed that the lowest SIMS scores are obtained in a group of normal volunteers, somewhat higher SIMS scores are obtained from persons with mild symptoms from car accidents, and the highest SIMS scores are those from patients injured more severely in high impact car accidents and also by malingerers.
The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a diagnostic tool developed to allow physicians and nurses to identify delirium in the healthcare setting. [1] It was designed to be brief (less than 5 minutes to perform) and based on criteria from the third edition-revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III-R).
Total scores of less than 50 at the age of five- Indicate that the child will most likely be able to lead a semi-independent life without needing to be placed in a formal care facility. Total scores of 104 or higher - Indicate that the child would fall into the 90th percentile and would be considered severely autistic.
The score sheet indicates which items fall under each subscale. Responses for each item are summed together to yield six subscale scores. Subscale scores are interpreted on their own; they are *not* added to create at total Problem Behavior score. Higher scores for each subscale suggest increased severity of problem behavior in that subscale ...
These function scores are each divided by 6 (the number of scores in each set). Parent and child function scores are then summed and divided by 2 to determine the mean function score. The function with the highest mean score is considered the primary cause of the child's school avoidance. The function divisions are as follows:
Named after the Dutch mathematician Bartel Leendert van der Waerden, the Van der Waerden test is a statistical test that k population distribution functions are equal. The Van der Waerden test converts the ranks from a standard Kruskal-Wallis test to quantiles of the standard normal distribution (details given below). These are called normal ...
The SWAI has been compared to the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), which is an objective measure that is considered the gold standard of sleepiness assessment; it measures sleep onset latency during several daytime opportunities. The SWAI-EDS has been found to correlate moderately to highly with average MSLT scores. [1]
