A consensus process developed the first Comprehensive ICF Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set for diabetes mellitus. These sets standardize the assessment of health and functioning in diabetes care.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Diabetes mellitus is a complex condition impacting multiple aspects of health and daily life.
  • Standardized tools are needed to comprehensively assess the functional status of individuals with diabetes.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for such assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first version of a Comprehensive ICF Core Set for diabetes mellitus.
  • To develop the first version of a Brief ICF Core Set for diabetes mellitus.
  • To establish a consensus-based set of ICF categories relevant to diabetes.

Main Methods:

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

  • 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 253 relevant ICF categories.
    • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set includes 99 categories (36 body functions, 16 body structures, 18 activities/participation, 29 environmental factors).
    • The Brief ICF Core Set includes 33 second-level categories (12 body functions, 6 body structures, 5 activities/participation, 10 environmental factors).

    Conclusions:

    • A formal consensus process successfully defined ICF Core Sets for diabetes mellitus.
    • Both a Comprehensive and a Brief ICF Core Set for diabetes mellitus have been established.
    • These ICF Core Sets provide a standardized framework for assessing functioning in diabetes.
