Experts developed the Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set for obstructive pulmonary diseases. These standardized tools integrate evidence and expert consensus for consistent patient assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Classification Systems

Background:

  • Obstructive pulmonary diseases require standardized assessment tools.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for health and disability.
  • Previous assessments lacked comprehensive, standardized core sets for these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first version of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for obstructive pulmonary diseases.
  • To develop the first version of the Brief ICF Core Set for obstructive pulmonary diseases.
  • To establish consensus on ICF categories relevant to obstructive pulmonary diseases.

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 identified relevant ICF categories based on training and preliminary findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary studies identified 287 relevant ICF categories across body functions, structures, activities, and environmental factors.
    • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set includes 67 second-level and 4 third-level categories.
    • The Brief ICF Core Set includes 17 second-level categories.

    Conclusions:

    • A formal consensus process successfully defined ICF Core Sets for obstructive pulmonary diseases.
    • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set provide standardized tools for this patient population.
    • These ICF Core Sets integrate evidence and expert opinion within the ICF framework.
