Validity and reliability of a checklist for patients with Behçet's disease based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

In 2020, we reported the "BD-checklist 92" for patients with Behçet's disease (BD) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of this checklist. Questionnaires using the "BD-checklist 92" and the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) were sent to ten affiliated institutions.

Identification of physical and psychosocial problems based on symptoms in patients with Behçet's disease.

The purpose of this study was to use the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to identify physical and psychosocial problems associated with symptoms of Behçet's disease (BD) in Japanese patients. Thirty patients with BD were interviewed in a pilot study using the "ICF Checklist", and a team of medical experts selected categories related to physical and psychosocial aspects of BD.

Gender differences in the perception of difficulty of self-management in patients with diabetes mellitus: a mixed-methods approach.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the challenges of self-management of diabetes comparing gender.

Methods: Sixty-four women and 129 men (mean age 63 vs. 60 years) with diabetes mellitus (DM) were interviewed using 12 categories (classification codes b1300, d240, d570, d620, d845, d920, e410 + e414, e420, e425, e465, e560) related to self-care management selected from 99 categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for DM.

Identification of physical and psychosocial problems associated with diabetic nephropathy using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Set for Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: We previously demonstrated validation of the Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Set for Diabetes Mellitus (ICF-CS for DM) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DMN). The objective of the present study was to identify differences in experience of physical and psychosocial problems between DMN patients with and without hemodialysis (HD), and diabetes patients without nephropathy using the ICF-CS for DM.

Methods: A total of 302 diabetes outpatients (men, 68 %; mean age, 62 years) were interviewed using four components of the ICF-CS for DM including "Body functions", "Body structures", "Activities and participation", and "Environmental factors".

Development and validation of a short-version checklist for patients undergoing hemodialysis based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

Background: In 2009, we developed a "100-category checklist" for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and we confirmed its validity. However, we found that for patients' daily assessment, 100 categories were too many. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate a short version of the "100-category checklist.
