Abstract
OBJECTIVES to construct and validate an instrument for assessing the functionality of individuals with schistosomiasis. METHODS methodological study, developed in three stages: 1) construction of the instrument and its association with categories of the International Classification of Functionality, which the study used to elaborate the questions; 2) validation of content, performed by judges experts in the subject; 3) application of the instrument by the test-retest technique in the population with schistosomiasis in 14 days. The study used the correlation coefficient kappa to calculate the degree of agreement between the judges kappa. RESULTS in its final version, the instrument consists of 27 items, 9 of which are from the Body functions component, 6 from Body structures, 4 from Activity and participation, and 8 from Environmental factors. CONCLUSIONS the constructed instrument has a biopsychosocial approach, considering four components of the ICF, besides presenting good validity and interobserver reliability.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the reliability and validity of the Brief international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF) core set for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in four tertiary hospitals in Tianjin, China. A total of 100 patients with COPD were selected to evaluate functioning and disability involving body functions, body structures, activities and participation as well as environmental factors of the Brief ICF core set for COPD. Internal consistency was calculated by Cronbach's α. Content validity was examined using the content validity index (CVI), scale-level CVI/universal agreement, and scale-level CVI/average agreement (S-CVI/Ave). In addition, construct validity and convergent validity were also examined. Results The Brief ICF core set for COPD had a high internal consistency, 0.873 for the total scale, with values of 0.750, 0.640, and 0.843 for body functions, body structures, and activity and participation, respectively. The content validity was calculated by the CVI, scale-level CVI/universal agreement, and S-CVI/Ave at values of 0.80-1, 0.929, and 0.986, respectively. Meanwhile, the ICF core set for COPD had good convergent validity, correlating with the mMRC dyspnea score (r=0.690, P<0.01), and there were significant correlations between the ICF core set for COPD and COPD clinical severity grade (r=0.363, P<0.01). A four-factor model of functions and disability in the Brief ICF core set for COPD had the best fit according to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Conclusion The Brief ICF core set for COPD is a reliable and valid convenient instrument for assessing comprehensive problems in the functioning of patients with COPD, which can be used to design and to evaluate rehabilitation strategies.

Abstract
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) features associated tools, the Brief and Comprehensive ICF Core Sets. These are designed to be universally applicable, but have limited evidence of content validity (i.e. comprehensiveness and relevance) in low income, non-Western countries. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to assess the content validity of the ICF Core Sets in Nepal. We interviewed 161 participants with stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and musculoskeletal conditions and asked them to identify activities they had difficulty performing due to their health condition. We mapped 544 participant responses to the ICF and assessed if these ICF categories were represented in the respective ICF core sets. The Comprehensive Core Sets for stroke, COPD, SCI, and musculoskeletal conditions contained more items identified by participants than the respective Brief Core Sets (e.g., 89% vs. 26% in stroke). Among ICF categories that represented at least 5% of participants' responses, the Brief Core Sets covered 40%-71% of participants' responses whereas the Comprehensive Core Sets covered 67%-100% of responses. This is the first study to evaluate the content validity of the ICF Brief and Comprehensive core sets in Nepali individuals with stroke, SCI, MSK conditions, and COPD. The Comprehensive Core Sets for stroke, COPD, and SCI have adequate content validity for use in clinical practice and research in Nepal; the Brief Core Sets may not adequately meet local and individual needs unless supplemented with additional ICF categories.

[PMID: 32571309 PMCID: PMC7310139 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-020-01404-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical questionnaires are mainly applied as screening tools for identification of the Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Little attention has been paid to assess the body functions and health status of the patients. International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) was designed for better understanding and describing functioning and disability of patients. This study adopted the Brief ICF-Sleep Disorders and Obesity Core Set to evaluate the impairment of functioning and health status of OSA patients. METHODS Five hundred ninety-two participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected using Brief ICF-Sleep Disorders and Obesity Core Set Polysomnography was performed and basic characteristics of the patients were recorded. RESULTS The scores for the component Body Functions and Code b130, b134, b140, b440, b530, s330, d160, d240, d450 of the two core sets were significantly different among the patients divided by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or oxygen saturation (SaO2) nadir, but the frequency of code s330, d160, d240, d450 was low. The Body Functions component of the both sets were closely related to neck circumference (NC), body mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of the OSA patients. Body Functions of the Brief ICF-Sleep Disorders performed better with a threshold of 4 with sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) as 0.62, 0.74, 0.68(AHI ≥ 5), 0.69, 0.63, 0.66 (AHI ≥ 15), 0.75, 0.56, 0.66 (AHI ≥ 30), 0.56, 0.70, 0.63 (SaO2 nadir≤90%), 0.67, 0.66, 0.66 (SaO2 nadir<85%), 0.71, 0.59, 0.65 (SaO2 nadir<80%), separately. CONCLUSION The Body Functions component of both two sets could be an evaluation tool of impairment of body functions for OSA patients. The Brief ICF-Sleep Disorders Body Functions component performed better with a threshold of 4 and might provide a new insight for physicians to assess OSA patients.
