- A standardized tool called the Activity Independence Measure for Trauma (AIM-T) was created to assess patients' daily activity independence after experiencing trauma in humanitarian settings.
- This study focused on refining the AIM-T by reducing the number of items from the original version (AIM-T1) based on data from 635 patients across several countries, resulting in a shorter version (AIM-T2).
- The final version, AIM-T3, includes 12 highly relevant and culturally appropriate items, making it a potentially effective measure for clinicians to use in evaluating trauma patients in various humanitarian contexts.
Background: In Afghanistan, Médecins Sans Frontières provided specialised trauma care in Kunduz Trauma Centre (KTC), including physiotherapy. In this study, we describe the development of an adapted functional score for patient outcome monitoring, and document the rehabilitation care provided and patient outcomes in relation to this functional score.
Methods: A descriptive cohort study was done, including all patients admitted in the KTC inpatient department (IPD) between January and June 2015.
