Tools to Measure Noncognitive Symptoms in Nursing Home Residents With Advanced Dementia: A Scoping Review
Measuring agitation and NCSDs seems feasible in the target population, using CMAI and NPI-Nursing Home version.

Future research should provide open-access datasets for enhanced utility and transparency of data collected from this vulnerable population.
