Mapping a measure of physical ability for persons with long-term musculoskeletal pain to the ICF and ICF Core Sets

ObjectivesMusculoskeletal pain (MSP) is prevalent among the workforce. This study investigates the long-term association between physical workload (PWL) and increased frequency of MSP among male and female employees with pre-existing occasional MSP.MethodsThis study uses the Stockholm Public Health cohort survey data from the baseline 2006. The sample includes 5715 employees with baseline occasional MSP (no more than a few days per month). Eight PWL exposures and overall PWL were estimated using a job-exposure matrix (JEM). The JEM was assigned to occupational titles from a national register in 2006. Follow-up survey data on frequent MSP (a few or more times a week) were collected from 2010. Logistic regressions produced sex-specific ORs with 95% CIs and were adjusted for education, health conditions, psychological distress, smoking, BMI, leisure-time physical activity and decision authority.ResultsAssociations were observed between several aspects of heavy PWL and frequent MSP for men (eg, OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.13 to 2.20, among those in the highest exposure quartile compared with those in the lowest quartile for heavy lifting) and women (eg, OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.35 to 2.29, among those in the highest exposure quartile compared with those in the the lowest quartile for physically strenuous work). Small changes were observed in the OR after adjustment, but most of the ORs for PWL exposures among the men were no longer statistically significantly increased.ConclusionA high level of exposure to heavy PWL was associated with increased frequency of MSP 4 years later for men and women with baseline occasional pain.

ObjectiveThe aim this presentation is present the results of the preparatory studies were presented at an international consensus conference, a multi-stage, iterative, decision-making and consensus process that took place 12–14 May 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. At this consensus conference, schizophrenia experts from different countries worldwide and working in a broad range of professions decided which ICF categories should be included in the first version of the ICF Core Sets for schizophrenia.MethodFour preliminary studies intend to capture the researcher's perspective, the patient's perspective, the expert's perspective and the clinician's perspective, respectively, on the most relevant aspects of functioning of persons living with schizophrenia. The final definition of ICF Core Sets for schizophrenia have been determined by integrating the results of preliminary studies in a consensus conference with international expert.ResultThe experts included 97 categories in the Comprehensive ICF Core Set and 25 categories in the Brief ICF-CS. The specific categories of each ICF-CS are shown in this presentation. The Comprehensive ICF-CS can guide multidisciplinary assessments of functioning in persons with schizophrenia, and the brief version is ideal for use in both clinical and epidemiological research, since it includes a small and practical number of categories, but sufficiently wide for finding utility in clinical assessments.ConclusionICF-CS are being designed with the goal of providing useful standards for research, clinical practice and teaching, and it will stimulate research and will improve understanding of functioning, health and environmental factors in schizophrenia.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
