FIM SCORES AS AN INDICATOR OF LENGTH OF STAY FIM Scores as an Indicator of Length of Stay and Discharge Destination in CVA Patients: A Retroactive Outcomes Study
The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scale is used in in-patient occupational therapy to measure progress of functional skills such as dressing, bathing, and eating. The recent changes in healthcare, transitioning from fee-for-service to capitative service delivery model, are requiring therapists to advance their skills in the area of prognostics. If the FIM can be used as an outcomes pred...
متن کاملConstruct validity of the functional independence measure (FIM): questioning the unidimensionality of the scale and the "value" of FIM scores.
The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is one of the most widely used disability and dependence assessment instruments in rehabilitation medicine. As for other similar scales, the expression of results as a unique score raises an important question. Is it legitimate to consider the object being measured (functional independence) as a unidimensional entity? The answer is of major practical im...
متن کاملConverting SVDD Scores into Probability Estimates
To enable post-processing, the output of a support vector data description (SVDD) should be a calibrated probability as done for SVM. Standard SVDD does not provide such probabilities. To create probabilities, we first generalize the SVDD model and propose two calibration functions. The first one uses a sigmoid model and the other one is based on a generalized extreme distribution model. To est...
متن کاملRelationships between independence level of single motor-FIM items and FIM-motor scores in patients with hemiplegia after stroke: an ordinal logistic modelling study.
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationships between independence levels of single motor-related Functional Independence Measure (FIM) items and summed FIM-motor scores of patients with hemiplegia after stroke. DESIGN For each patient FIM scores were assessed 4 times during hospitalization. Ordinal logistic analyses were performed on group data. SUBJECTS Fifty patients with hemiplegia after stroke...
متن کاملThe relationship of montreal cognitive assessment scores to framingham coronary and stroke risk scores
We examined the relationship between a brief cognitive screening measure and Framingham Coronary and Stroke Risk scores. We administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to participants in the Dallas Heart Study, a community-based multiethnic study investigating the development of atherosclerosis. The composition of the group was 50% African American, 36% Caucasian and 14% Hispanic. The...
