Advance Care Planning in Dementia: Do Family Carers Know the Treatment Preferences of People with Early Dementia?
Harrison Dening K, King M, Jones L, Vickerstaff V, Sampson EL.. PloS one, 2016-07-13
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Results In interviews PWD were able to indicate their treatment preferences across all three scenarios. In severe stroke and coma carers tended wrongly to suggest that the PWD preferred more intervention (antibiotic, 67%; k = -0.022; PABAK = -0.60; CPR, 73%; k = 0.20; PABAK = -0.20, tube feeding, 66%; k = 0.25; PABAK = -0.12).

How this study scored 47/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a snapshot of people at one point in time. Scored zero for sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 27 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 47 out of 100.
