Assessment Questionnaire

Disability was measured in 33 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and a self-administered version of the Barthel index (BI). There was no significant disagreement between the two methods, although the HAQ showed a tendency to overestimate the degree of disability slightly. The findings suggest that the B1 is as reliable as the HAQ in the assessment of functional independence with activities of daily living in patients with RA. it also has the advantage of evaluating bladder and bowel control which is often affected in these patients. Most therapists are more familiar with the B1 than with the HAQ. The B1 could, therefore, be recommended for measuring rehabilitation gains in patients with RA.

Occupational Roles

OBJECTIVE: to verify whether there are associations among occupational roles, independence to perform Activities of Daily Living, purchasing power, and assistive technology for individuals with physical disabilities. METHOD: 91 individuals with physical disabilities participated in the study. The instruments used were: Role Checklist, Brazilian Economic Classification Criterion, Barthel Index, and a Questionnaire to characterize the subjects. RESULTS: an association with a greater number of roles was found among more independent individuals using a lower number of technological devices. Higher purchasing power was associated with a lower functional status of dependence. CONCLUSION: even though technology was not directly associated with independence, the latter was associated with a greater number of occupational roles, which requires reflection upon independence issues when considering the participation in occupational roles. These findings support interdisciplinary actions designed to promote occupational roles in individuals with physical disabilities.

AbstractThe identification of malnutrition-inflammation-complex (MIC) and functional status (FS) is key to improving patient experience on hemodialysis (HD). We investigate the association of MIC and FS combinations with mortality in HD patients. We analyzed data from 5630 HD patients from 9 countries in DOPPS phases 4–5 (2009–2015) with a median follow-up of 23 [IQR 11, 31] months. MIC was defined as serum albumin < 3.8 g/dL and serum C-reactive protein > 3 mg/L in Japan and > 10 mg/L elsewhere. FS score was defined as the sum of scores from the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living and the Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale. We investigated the association between combinations of MIC (+/−) and FS (low [< 11]/high [≥ 11]) with death. Compared to the reference group (MIC−/high FS), the adjusted hazard ratios [HR (95% CI)] for all-cause mortality were 1.82 (1.49, 2.21) for MIC−/low FS, 1.57 (1.30, 1.89) for MIC+/high FS, and 3.44 (2.80, 4.23) for MIC+/low FS groups. Similar associations were observed with CVD-related and infection-related mortality. The combination of MIC and low FS is a strong predictor of mortality in HD patients. Identification of MIC and poor FS may direct interventions to lessen adverse clinical outcomes in the HD setting.
