Abstract
to examine the influence of specific clinical impairments and disabilities on the completion of the SF-36 health status measure among older people. Prospective observational study. An SF-36 was administered to 245 subjects aged 65 years and older. Subjects were chosen by sampling from a variety of inpatient, outpatient and community sources to ensure a range of relevant disabilities. response rates, overall rates of completion, completion of individual questions and time taken to complete. severe functional impairment (Barthel index < or = 12) was found in 22.4% (51/228), cognitive impairment in 54.1% (132/244), depressed mood in 77.0% (151/196) and visuospatial dysfunction in 71.3% (134/188). The median number of impairments was three (interquartile range 1-4). Specific physical impairments were visual in 13.2% (31/235), hearing in 30.2% (74/245), impaired manual dexterity in 18.0% (44/245) and dysphasia in 23% (55/239). In multivariate analyses, global functional impairment (P = 0.006), cognitive impairment (P = 0.0001) and impaired manual dexterity (P = 0.005) were significantly associated with more dimensions uncompleted, whilst cognitive impairment (P = 0.001), age (P = 0.006) and visuospatial dysfunction (P = 0.0003) were...Continue Reading
