The rates of disability, as defined by the proportion having difficulty or inability in performing a particular function, were relatively high for seeing (18.4%), and walking (17.2%) and low for self-care (1.1%) and communication (1.2%).
Behavioural problems were defined by the strengths and difficulties questionnaire.
The disease is defined by the lung inflammation and difficulty of breathing when the suspect is under the influence of various factors that trigger the asthma reaction.
The second process weakness, indications for urinary catheter use, as defined by the Bladder Bundle initiative, created difficulty when hospitals tried to rigidly apply these indications.
The difficulty factor is defined by the proportion of patients selecting the right answer to that question and is calculated by the number of correct response divided by the total number of responses.
The difficulty grades, as defined by the Morriston Hospital ERCP grading scale, were mostly grade II (494, 46.1%) and grade III (297, 27.7%) procedures overall; however, there was a twofold increase in grade IV procedures in the second 5-year period, compared with the first (15.3% vs 7.2%, p<0.0001).
Disability, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), refers to difficulties in carrying out an activity due to increased effort, discomfort or pain, slowness or changes in the way the activity is performed.
It featured number mapping of a range of difficulty levels (defined by the range of the number line; 0 5, 0 10, 0 50, 0 100, 0 500, 0 1000, and 0 1500) and a range of precision levels (7%, 6%, 5 % and 4) within each difficulty level.
Moreover, they were chosen to provide different difficulty levels defined by the number of "brutal change" of direction (>45°) in the shape (letter 1: one 90° change; letter 2: one 180° change; letter 3: three changes; letter 4: four changes).
