Can a direct IADL measure detect deficits in persons with MCI?
A direct IADL measure for dementia patients is able to detect small differences between MCI and NC and cross-sectionally and longitudinally, but does not distinguish between groups.
In subjects investigated for PE, an abnormal CXR increases the prevalence of non-diagnostic scintigrams. A normal pre-test CXR is more often associated with a definitive (normal or high probability) scintigram result. The chest radiograph may be useful in deciding the optimum sequence of investigations.Forbes, K. P. N., Reid, J. H., Murchison, J. T.(2001). Clinical Radiology56, 397-400.
