神经精神病学问卷(NPI)是评估痴呆症精神病理学的有效临床工具。作者编制了用于临床实践的NPI简表(NPI-Q)，并与NPI对60例阿尔茨海默病患者进行了交叉验证。NPI-Q茶的重测信度可接受。NPI和NPI-Q上报告的类似症状的患病率平均相差5%；中度或重度症状评级相差不到2%。NPI-Q提供了一个简短的，可靠的，基于信息者的神经精神症状和相关的照顾者痛苦的评估，可能适合在一般临床实践中使用。
The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) is a validated clinical instrument for evaluating psychopathology in dementia. The authors developed ct brief questionnaire form of the NPI (NPI-Q), intended for use in routine clinical practice, and cross-validated if with the NPI in 60 Alzheimer's patients. Test-retest reliability of the NPI-Q teas acceptable. The prevalence of analogous symptoms reported on the NPI and NPI-Q differed on average by 5%; moderate or severe symptom ratings differed by less than 2%. The NPI-Q provides a brief, reliable, informant-based assessment of neuropsychiatric symptoms and associated caregiver distress that may be suitable for use in general clinical practice.
