Researchers developed Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets for osteoarthritis using expert consensus and evidence. These standardized tools aim to improve data collection and reporting for osteoarthritis patients.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
  • Health Informatics
  • Biomedical Classification Systems

Background:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA) poses a significant global health challenge.
  • Standardized assessment tools are crucial for consistent data collection in OA research and clinical practice.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for describing health and functioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first version of a Comprehensive ICF Core Set for osteoarthritis.
  • To develop the first version of a Brief ICF Core Set for osteoarthritis.
  • To establish a consensus-based set of ICF categories for OA.

Main Methods:

  • A formal consensus process was employed, integrating evidence from preliminary studies.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Preliminary studies included a Delphi exercise, systematic review, and empirical data collection.
  • International experts from diverse backgrounds identified relevant ICF categories based on training and preliminary findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary studies identified 388 relevant ICF categories across body functions, structures, activities, participation, and environmental factors.
    • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for OA includes 55 second-level ICF categories.
    • The Brief ICF Core Set for OA includes 13 second-level ICF categories.

    Conclusions:

    • A formal consensus process successfully defined ICF Core Sets for osteoarthritis.
    • Both the Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets for osteoarthritis have been established.
    • These ICF Core Sets provide a standardized approach for assessing functioning and disability in OA.
