Screening of Patient Impairments in an Outpatient Clinic for Suspected Rare Diseases—A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- Sociodemographic questions
- Rehabilitation Goal Screening (ReGoS)
- Pain Disability Index (PDI)
- Short Form-12 (SF-12)
- For patients of working age: Work Ability Index (WAI)
- Questions about previous therapies and rehabilitation
2.1. Sociodemographic Indicators
2.2. Limitations in Everyday Life Due to Impairment
2.3. Impairment Due to Pain
2.4. Health-Related Quality of Life
2.5. Work Ability Index
- –
- “critical” (7–27 points)—restoring work ability;
- –
- “moderate” (28–36 points)—improve work ability;
- –
- “good” (37–43 points)—support work ability; and
- –
- “very good” (44–49 points)—maintain work ability.
