Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Medical Classification Systems

Background:

  • Osteoporosis significantly impacts functioning and disability.
  • Standardized assessment tools are crucial for managing osteoporosis.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for describing health and disability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first Comprehensive ICF Core Set for osteoporosis.
  • To develop the first Brief ICF Core Set for osteoporosis.
  • To establish a consensus-based framework for assessing functioning and disability in osteoporosis.

Main Methods:

  • A formal consensus process integrating evidence from preliminary studies.
  • Preliminary studies included a Delphi exercise, systematic review, and empirical data collection.

  • International experts identified relevant ICF categories based on training and preliminary findings.

    • Main Results:

    • A Comprehensive ICF Core Set was defined, including 67 second-level and 2 third-level categories.
    • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set comprises 15 body function, 7 body structure, 21 activity/participation, and 26 environmental factor categories.
    • A Brief ICF Core Set was defined with 22 second-level categories (5 body function, 4 body structure, 6 activity/participation, 7 environmental factors).

    Conclusions:

    • ICF Core Sets for osteoporosis were successfully defined through a formal consensus process.
    • The Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets provide standardized tools for osteoporosis assessment.
    • These ICF Core Sets integrate evidence and expert opinion within the ICF framework.
