Agreement Between Patient and Surrogate Assessments of Pre-Critical Illness Physical Function

We found fair agreement and moderate correlation on previously validated self-report questionnaires of physical function. Patients reported better function than their surrogates particularly at lower levels of function. Our findings highlight the need for further development of tools to assess pre-critical illness physical function.

Abstract

We found fair agreement and moderate correlation on previously validated self-report questionnaires of physical function. Patients reported better function than their surrogates particularly at lower levels of function. Our findings highlight the need for further development of tools to assess pre-critical illness physical function.
