The World Health Organization (WHO) has argued that functioning, and, more concretely, functioning domains constitute the operationalization best captures our intuitive notion of health. Functioning is, therefore, a major public-health goal. A great deal data about is already available. Nonetheless, it not possible to compare and optimally utilize this information. One potential approach address challenge propose generic minimal set experience individuals populations with respect objective...
The usual approach in disability surveys is to screen persons with upfront and then ask questions about everyday problems. objectives of this paper are demonstrate the impact screeners on rates, challenge exclusion mild moderate from advantage using an a posteriori cut-off. Using data pilot study WHO Model Disability Survey (MDS) Cambodia polytomous Rasch model, metric scales were built. conventional screener based short module Washington City Group cut-off method described World Report...
Abstract Background Nepal is committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030 target 3.1 of reducing maternal mortality ratio 70 deaths per 100,000 live births. Along with increasing access health facility (HF)-based delivery services, improving HF readiness critically important. The majority births in are normal low-risk and most them take place public HFs, as does deaths. This study aims assess changes between 2015 2021, notably, if for providing high-quality services...

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) provides a standardized assessment of functioning and disability in individuals with any kind disease. So far, data on feasibility psychometric properties the 12-item WHODAS patients acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are not available. Thus, objective this study was to investigate questionnaire population-based sample persons AMI. consisted 2077 (age 35-85 years) AMI from MONICA/KORA Myocardial Infarction Registry,...
Summary Ordinal categorial variables arise commonly in regression modelling. Although the analysis of ordinal response has been well investigated, less work done concerning predictors. We consider so-called international classfication functioning core sets for chronic widespread pain, which many covariates are collected. The effect specific classification on a subjective measure physical health is requires strategies variable selection. In this context, we propose methods selection ordinally...
Background: When comparing the health of two populations, it is not enough to compare prevalence chronic diseases. The objective this study therefore propose a metric based on domains functioning determine whether English are healthier than Americans. Methods: We analysed representative samples aged 50 80 years from 2008 wave Health and Retirement Study (N = 10 349) for US data, 4 Longitudinal Ageing 9405) counterpart data. first calculated age-standardized disease diabetes, hypertension,...

Abstract Objective With the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), impact health conditions on functioning disability can be described. A Comprehensive a Brief ICF Core Set for osteoarthritis (OA) were developed. Our specific aims to validate OA using novel approach, i.e., identify categories that best explain patients' functioning, propose statistically validated version. Methods We performed psychometric study group lasso regression data from convenience...
Disability is understood by the World Health Organization (WHO) as outcome of interaction between a health condition and personal environmental factors. Comprehensive data about factors therefore essential to understand influence disability. We aimed identify which have highest impact on performance people with mild, moderate severe difficulties in capacity, who are at risk experiencing disability different extents, using from pilot study WHO Model Survey Cambodia random forest regression....
