For instance, an increase in a 10-point scale can represent different amounts of improvement at different parts of the functional status scale; it might be more difficult for a person to improve from 9 to 10 than from 4 to 5 [ 18].
So these study objectives are: 1) identify the key actors of the social system who maintain elders in functional autonomy at home and 2) to describe the functional status of older people living at home.
This caused a small increase in the mean score of the functional status at 3 and 6 months.
Second, for diseases like breast cancer, the functional status at the time of diagnosis is often unimpaired, and the mean survival is relatively long.
In addition to the functional status at baseline and the treatment, the propensity score, age, and pain remained significant predictors of functional remission (Table 6).
The aim was to study the functional status at 1 year and after 3 years in ICU patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
29 Our study showed that the mode of delivery of rehabilitation provided additional institutionalization risk to the functional status at discharge.
This speculation was consistent with a study conducted in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland that the most powerful predictor to institutionalization was the functional status at discharge, far greater than the predictive power of the initial stroke severity.
For evaluation of the incremental effect of AKI on functional status, we selected the functional status at admission (BI score) as the dependent variable, and used multivariate linear regression for analysis, with incorporation of demographics, comorbidities, physical parameters at admission, presence of AKI, diagnosis at admission, and laboratory data.
