The London Psychogeriatric Rating Scale (LPRS) was administered to 76 probable Alzheimer's patients, 59 patients with dementia unrelated to Alzheimer's, 102 neurologically normal subjects, and 27 patients with symptoms of both Alzheimer's and dementia of other etiologies. By examining the relationships among the four subscales of the LPRS and conducting factor analyses, it was demonstrated that the four subscales were not measuring different phenomena. The internal consistency of the full 36-item scale was high (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.96) indicating the total LPRS score provided a reliable global index of behavioral function. The total LPRS scores correlated with the independently administered Goldfarb Mental Status Examination scores (r = -0.79). The LPRS differentiated between the normals and the combined demented groups and between inpatients and outpatients. The LPRS continues to have clinical value for functional assessments in a non-intrusive manner. The LPRS may be particularly useful in situations where direct assessment of mental status is not practical.
