Brief Summary

Patients with dementia develop behavioral problems over time. Among these, the investigators object screams or cries or disruptives vocalizations. Their cause is multifactorial and their management difficult in nursing homes. Often this patients are polymedicated, sedated or/and isolated. Many scientific studies are interested in drug and non-drug treatments. In this study, the investigators are looking for a profile for disruptives vocalizations's patients. Thus, the investigators will study the global profile of demented patients residing in EHPAD to determine if there are any similarities between them.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Describe the profile of demented patients

  Describe the profile of demented patients with disruptives vocalizations in EHPAD aged 75 and over, for whom an intervention of the Mobile Gerontopsychiatry Team (MGT) is requested. Determining the profile of the screaming residents in nursing home : age, sex, type of dementia, severity of dementia (MMSE score), co-morbidities, current treatments, sensory impairments, autonomy, environment (visits, outside workers, activities in the EHPAD, paramedical interventions, …), NPI-ES, psychological state (GDS).

  2 years

• Determination of predictive factors for MGT's effectiveness.

  2 years

• Determination if the delay between the symptom's beginning and intervention can influence their effectiveness.

  2 years

• Determination if disruptives vocalizations could be a dementia premorbid symptom.
