Article Synopsis
- A study explored the use of a chart-based Functional Status Scale (FSS) to assess quality improvement in pediatric trauma care, specifically evaluating how reliably different raters could agree on the functional status of injured children after chart review.
- Researchers analyzed 443 pediatric trauma cases and found high interrater reliability (ICC = 0.87) for total FSS scores, although some disagreement (14%) occurred in categorizing functional impairment levels.
- Factors influencing disagreement included the severity of functional impairment and the involvement of therapeutic services, indicating that more complex cases may complicate assessments.
