Objectives: We sought to determine whether the partial administration of the Cognitive Behavioral Driver's Inventory (CBDI) has a significant effect on its concurrent validity.
Method: Data were extracted from charts of clients with cerebrovascular accident or traumatic brain injury from three centers. The CBDI was administered either completely or partially (right and left perimetry or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R; Wechsler, 1982; Picture Completion and Digit Symbol tests were not completed).
Objective: A cataract efficiency program was implemented in Montreal in 2003 to decrease surgery wait time. Our goal was to determine whether health, adverse events during wait time, and outcome of patients presenting for cataract surgery differed from 1999 to 2006 in Montreal.
Design: Prospective preoperative and postoperative observational study performed at 2 time points 6 years apart.
Purpose: To document health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and subjective quality of life (SQOL) and explore their correlates in older adults seeking services for visual impairment (VI).
Method: A convenience sample of 64 participants (79.3 +/- 5.
Purpose: (1) to document participation in daily activities and social roles of older adults seeking services for visual impairment (VI) and compare it with that of the older population without VI or other disabilities, and (2) to explore correlates of their participation.
Methods: The 64 participants (46 women) had an average age of 79.3 years (SD = 5.
Objective: As provinces consider what an acceptable cataract surgery wait time should be, research is needed on the risk of adverse events, such as depression, while waiting for care. We sought to determine whether worse visual acuity is related to depressive symptoms in patients waiting to have cataract surgery.
Design: Cohort study.
