Patients completed a questionnaire that included the clock-drawing test. Errors included mistakes or omissions in recording the stool collection date and errors in stool collection. Each clock drawing was scored by 2 reviewers using 2 established methods.<h4>Results</h4>Of the 1,448 participants with a clock drawing, 63% were female with a mean age of 63 years.
