Study type | Observational |
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether geriatric inpatients with severe behavioral disorders exhibit higher serum ionized calcium concentration than geriatric inpatients without behavioral disorders, but no difference in serum calcium or corrected calcium concentrations. The secondary objective of this study is to determine whether the serum ionized calcium concentration is associated with behavioral and cognitive performance among geriatric inpatients.

Primary | Comparison of serum ionized calcium concentrations between cases and paired controls. | This measurement is assessed by a blood test. | This outcome is assessed at baseline. | |
Secondary | Comparison of serum corrected calcium concentration between cases and paired controls. | This measurement is assessed by a blood test. | This outcome is assessed at baseline. | |
Secondary | Comparison of the severity of behavioural disorders between cases and paired controls. | The severity of behavioural disorders is assessed by a standardized scale (Frontotemporal Behavioural Rating Scale (FBRS), Lebert F. et Pasquier F., 1998) | This outcome is assessed at baseline. | |
Secondary | Comparison of cognitive performance between cases and paired controls. | Cognitive performance is assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. | This outcome is assessed at baseline. |
