We examined features of everyday activities (capacity and frequency) between older adults with and without cognitive impairment over 12 months. Participants aged ≥60 years and at risk for depression were included (n = 260); 26% ( n = 69) had an acquired cognitive impairment at baseline. Cognitive impairment was defined as one standard deviation below norms on the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status. Features of everyday activities were measured by a computerized adaptive test version of Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI) at six time points (baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12 months). There were significant between-group differences in activity frequency ( p = .04), but not activity capacity ( p = .05). The group difference in activity frequency exceeded minimal detectable changes (MDC90 = 3.7) and reached moderate clinical meaningfulness (∆ at six time points = 3.7–4.7). Generalized linear mixed models revealed no Group × Time interactions on activity capacity and frequency ( p = .65 and p = .98). Practitioners may assess changes in activity frequency to monitor cognitive status of clients even when there is no loss of activity capacity.

Background/Aims This article details how a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), termed PROM-CR1, was tested for acceptability, validity and test-retest reliability at the end of an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programme. Methods PROM-CR1 was completed by 138 service users (mean age 66.95 years, range 42–94 years; 115 males, 23 females; with a range of cardiac diagnoses), who used the tool at home twice: once at the end of the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programme and 1 week later. Results PROM-CR1 demonstrated good acceptability, construct and concurrent validity, and test-retest reliability. The construct validity analysis highlighted that one item required removal from the PROM-CR1. Conclusions A finalised 30-item version of the tool will now be widely disseminated and further evaluated within cardiac rehabilitation clinical practice.
