Agitation, associated with unrelieved pain, is managed through antipsychotics and may increase the risk of death. Evidence is accumulating in favor of analgesia for a safer, effective therapy of agitation. The Italian version of Mobilization-Observation-Behavior-Intensity-Dementia, I-MOBID2, recently validated in the Italian setting, shows: good scale content validity index (0.89), high construct validity (Spearman rank-order correlation Rho = 0.748), reliable internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient = 0.751), good-excellent inter-rater (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC = 0.778) and test-retest (ICC = 0.902) reliability, and good inter-rater and test-retest agreement (Cohen's K = 0.744) with 5.8 min completion time. This study intends to identify the responsiveness of the I-MOBID2 based on COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) recommendations, assessing the a priori hypotheses of (1) the efficacy of painkillers administered to severe AD patients after proper pain assessment and (2) the effect of reduction of the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) score and of agitation rescue medications. This protocol is approved by Calabria Region Ethics Committee protocol No. 31/2017 and follows the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) guidelines.}, keywords = {I-MOBID2 (Other) / agitation (Other) / dementia (Other) / pain (Other) / responsiveness (Other)}, cin = {Scientific board / AG Bano}, ddc = {570}, cid = {I:(DE-2719)1030000 / I:(DE-2719)1013003}, pnm = {351 - Brain Function (POF4-351)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-351}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pmc = {pmc:PMC9139373}, pubmed = {pmid:35624960}, doi = {10.3390/brainsci12050573}, url = {https://pub.dzne.de/record/164574}, }
