Trial summary

The aim of this mixed-methods-study is to develop and validate an algorithm to transform FIM (Functional Independence Measure) and EBI (Extended Barthel Index) into an ADL score (Activities of Daily Life) that can be used to compare outcome quality of rehabilitation clinics.

About this study

Official title: Entwicklung Und Validierung Eines ADL-Scores (Activities of Daily Life) Auf Basis Von FIM (Functional Independence Measure) Und EBI (Erweiterter Barthel-Index)

The aim of this mixed-methods-study is to develop and validate an algorithm to transform FIM (Functional Independence Measure) and EBI (Extended Barthel Index) into an ADL score (Activities of Daily Life) that can be used to compare outcome quality of rehabilitation clinics.

The following steps are performed:

  1. Development of an ADL-algorithms by experts
  2. Validation of the ADL-algorithms in a quantitative approach
  3. Finalization of the ADL-algorithms by experts based on study results

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Agreement FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score

    Agreement according to Cohens kappa (FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score)

    Measured: within 3 days of admission to rehabilitation clinic

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score

    Spearman's correlation (FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score)

    Measured: within 3 days of admission to rehabilitation clinic

  2. Difference in FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score

    Delta in points FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score

    Measured: within 3 days of admission to rehabilitation clinic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurologic Disorder and ICF, run by Martin Brünger.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Agreement FIM-based ADL-score vs. EBI-based ADL-score (time frame: within 3 days of admission to rehabilitation clinic). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2019.
