VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE (VAS)
VERSCHEIDENE AUTEURS SINDS1974
129 patients aged 65 and older
hospitalized during a 15 month-period
who met DSM criteria for dementia,
with a Mini-Mental State Examination
score less than 11 and a Clinical
Dementia Rating of 3 or greater.

Design Reliability Validity
Repeated measures design:
Patients were asked to indicate
their current level of pain on
different scales (VAS, Faces Pain
Scale and Verbal Rating Scale).
This was repeated 30 minutes later
either by the same investigator
(50% of the cases) or by a different
examiner who was blinded to the
first assessment.
Comparative study: the VAS was
compared with the Numeric Rating
Scale (NRS), the Verbal Descriptor
Scale (VDS) and the pain intensity
measures of the McGill Pain
Questionnaire (MPQ).
Reliability: Stability (S), Internal consistency (IC), Equivalence (E)
