FROM THE CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE CENTER
Predicting Factors That Predispose the Elderly to Cognitive Decline
March 11-17, 2007, has been designated as Brain Awareness Week, an international effort organized by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives to advance public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. One of the more challenging aspects of brain research and neuroscience is the area of cognitive decline over the lifespan, particularly in the elderly.

RESPONSES FROM OUR LAST COMPASS QUESTIONS™
In the 02.27.07 issue of Clinical Compass, we posed three questions. The first question was: "When do you inquire about your patients' sleep habits?" and the neuroscienceCME learning community responded:
23% - When they present with sleep-wake disturbances
66% - Every time they visit
11% - During annual check-ups
0% - Never
The second question was: "Do you utilize sleep or fatigue rating scales in your practice?" and the neuroscienceCME learning community responded:
21% - Yes
46% - No
33% - What's a sleep/fatigue rating scale?
And the third question was: "If you answered "no" to question #2, why not?" and the neuroscienceCME learning community responded:
13% - Do not have time to use the scales
66% - Do not have readily available screening scales
15% - Not sure how to interpret results
0% - Patient noncompliance
6% - The results are not necessarily valid or reliable

Clinician Feedback Prompts Addition to neuroscienceCME.com
The Clinical Compass editorial staff found the responses from our last Compass Questions™ compelling enough to add a new feature to neuroscienceCME.com: In the near future, look for downloadable patient evaluation tools under the Resources tab. We will initially include the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), among others.
