Cognitive Performance Scale (CPS) | The CPS showed substantial agreement with the MMSE in the identification of cognitive impairment; the sensitivity was .94 (95% confidence interval [CI]: .90, .98), the specificity was .94 (95% CI: .87, .96), and the diagnostic accuracy as measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was .96 (95% CI: .88, 1.0). | Hartmaier, S.L., Sloane, P.D., Guess, H.A., Koch, G.G., Mitchell, C.M., & Phillips, C.D.

Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Science and Medical Science, 50, M128–33. |
Depression Rating Scale (DRS) | Correlations of 0.69 with Cornell scale and 0.70 with Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. More sensitive and specific than 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (AUC > 0.80). | Burrows, A.B., Morris, J.N., Simon, S.E., Hirdes, J.P., & Phillips, C. (2000). Development of a minimum data set-based depression rating scale for use in nursing homes. Age and Ageing, 29, 165–72. |

Scaling ADLs within the MDS. Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Science and Medical Science, 54 (11), M546–53. |
