Application of a World Health Organization 10-minute screening tool in eastern Taiwan-Falls and self-rated health status among community-dwelling elderly
2015, Tzu Chi Medical JournalCitation Excerpt :For example, the positive and negative predictive values of the two items assessing urinary incontinence were 0.86 and 0.96, respectively. Those for the 3-item memory recall test were 0.60 and 0.92, respectively [26]. All of the results in this study are in agreement with those of previous studies related to the prevalence of falling, urinary incontinence, and depression in an elderly population in Taiwan.
Physical function and quality of life in frail and/or elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with capecitabine and bevacizumab: An exploratory analysis
2014, Journal of Geriatric OncologyCitation Excerpt :One of the components of the questionnaire is a visual analog scale (EQ-5D VAS), where the respondent is asked to indicate his or her health state by drawing a line from the origin box to a vertical line numbered 0 (at the bottom indicating worst possible health state) and 100 (at the top indicating best possible health state).21 Overall geriatric health was measured using a brief comprehensive geriatric health questionnaire (CGO) as described by Moore et al.22 This questionnaire is a self-administered battery of eleven items that was developed to screen elderly patients for eight common geriatric problems (malnutrition/weight loss, visual impairment, hearing loss, cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, depression, physical disability, and reduced leg mobility) that may adversely affect function and for which intervention may improve patient outcomes. It was prospectively tested in a university geriatric medicine clinic and shown to have good validity and reliability when comparing blinded and unblinded geriatrician's assessments.

2008, Women's Health IssuesCitation Excerpt :Several studies have examined ways to improve health promotion among adults in primary care (Dubey, Mathew, Iglar, Moineddin, & Glazier, 2006; Robinson, Barry, Renick, Bergin, & Stratos, 2001). Recommendations include physician education seminars (Kerse, Flicker, Jolley, Arroll, & Young, 1999), preventive health check lists (Miller et al., 2000; Moore & Siu, 1996), computer reminders (Dexter et al., 2001), use of nonphysician staff to screen for disease (Moore, Siu, Partridge, Hayes, & Adams, 1997), addressing preventive health topics at multiple visits (Reuben, Roth, Kamberg, & Wenger, 2003), and maintaining a periodic health examination (Sox, Dietrich, Tosteson, Winchell, & Labaree, 1997). In our practice, we use computer reminders and preventive health check lists to help improve delivery of preventive health services to our patients.
