| Abstract: | Purpose: The aim of this consensus process was to decide on a first version of the ICF Core Set for patients with cardiopulmonary conditions in the acute hospital.Methods: The ICF Core Set development involved a formal decision-making and consensus process, integrating evidence gathered from preliminary studies including focus groups of health professionals, a systematic review of the literature and empiric data collection from patients.Results: Twenty-two experts selected a total of 48 second-level categories. The largest number of categories was selected from the ICF component Body Functions (21 categories or 44%). Four (8%) of the categories were selected from the component Body Structures, 10 (21%) from the component Activities and Participation, and 13 (27%) from the component Environmental Factors.Conclusion: The Acute ICF Core Set for patients with cardiopulmonary conditions provides all professionals with a clinical framework to comprehensively assess patients in the acute hospital. This first ICF Core Set will be further tested through empiric studies in German-speaking countries and internationally. |
