Description
Return recorded plus recalled only when includeRecall, and recalled divided by the full total.
Geriatric research summaries organize supplied observations, activities, and support records. Counts and ratios describe that research data; they are not clinical scores unless an independently validated scoring method explicitly defines them.
Return recorded plus recalled only when includeRecall, and recalled divided by the full total.
When to use this tool
Use Caregiver Diary Recall Base when you need a descriptive calculation on supplied geriatric research records.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recorded, recalled, missing, includeRecall. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read denominator, recallShare. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative integer recorded, recalled, and missing with positive overall total. Return recorded plus recalled only when includeRecall, and recalled divided by the full total.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| recorded | Recorded | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| recalled | Recalled | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| missing | Missing | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| includeRecall | Include Recall | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| denominator | Recorded count plus recalled count only if includeRecall is true; may be zero. | Required. Safe integer. |
| recallShare | Recalled count divided by recorded plus recalled plus missing, independently of includeRecall. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The chosen denominator can be zero even when recallShare is defined; supplied recalled information is not authenticated or treated as clinically equivalent to recorded observation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the appropriate validated assessment and professional review when clinical interpretation is required. Check observation scope, missingness, and denominator conventions before comparing research summaries.
