This study developed the first Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set for osteoporosis. These tools standardize the assessment of functioning and disability in osteoporosis patients.

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.
