Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be the correlation coefficient between the total HDS-R score assessed by a physician and the cognitive function score estimated by WANCO (HDS-R-equivalent total score). For the physician-assessed HDS-R score, we will use the most recent score obtained within one year prior to the WANCO assessment. If a documented HDS-R score within the past year is available in the medical record or referral letter, that score will be used. If no such record exists, a new HDS-R assessment will be conducted by a physician at the participating facility, the principal investigator, a co-investigator, or a collaborating physician. | — |
