The prerequisite for working across multiple datasets is interoperability with regard to their
features. This aspects includes the availability of features, the same naming conventions and comparable
representations. While we explored the representations of important features in the "Cohorts" section,
here we focus on naming conventions and to conceptually map similar features to their corresponding
counterparts in other datasets.
Variable names printed in red describe variables which were listed in the dataset and its metadata but held only missing values across all participants of the respective dataset (i.e. no data was available).
Disclaimer: This work is not a complete mapping of all features available in these cohorts. It
serves as
an overview on the current state of dataset interoperability and showcases that there is no common data
model for dementia datasets in use. This hinders data-driven approaches across cohorts substantially.

| Neuropsychiatric Inventory–Questionnaire (NPI-Q) | NCIT:C100772 | A standardized rating scale originally developed and copyrighted by Jeffrey L. Cummings in 1994 as well as published in the journal Neurology (Cummings J.L., The Neuropsychiatric Inventory: Assessing psychopathology in dementia patients. Neurology May 1997 48:10S-16S) which is used to assess the severity of an individual's neuropathic behaviors based on a observations made by the patient's caregiver. This instrument contains 12 neuropsychiatric areas associated with dementia such as delusions, anxiety, motor disturbances, and appetite. Each behavior is evaluated only if the individual displays the behavior. For these behaviors, the frequency is assessed on a scale of 0-4 with 0 being occasionally and 4 being very frequently, the severity is assessed on a scale of 1-3 with 1 being mild and 3 being marked, and the level of distress each behavior inflicts on the caregiver is assessed on a scale of 0-5 with 0 being not distressing and 5 being extremely distressing. | Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire EXACT|Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire EXACT|NPI EXACT|NPI-Q EXACT|NPI1 EXACT | NPISCORE | NPISCORE | No total score. | No total score. | ||||||||||||||||
