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. To identify specific physical and psychosocial problems of Japanese patients with BD, 100 new patients were interviewed using the selected categories.
