Can Proxy Ratings Supplement Patient Report to Assess Functional Domains Among Hospitalized Patients?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To (1) characterize the agreement between patient and proxy responses on a multidimensional computerized adaptive testing measure of function, and to (2) determine whether patient, proxy, or multidimensional computerized adaptive testing score characteristics identify when a proxy report can be used as a substitute for patient report in clinical decision making.

Design

A psychometric study of the Functional Assessment in Acute Care Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing (FAMCAT) and its 3 scales (Applied Cognition, Daily Activity, and Basic Mobility).

Setting

An upper midwestern quaternary academic medical center PARTICIPANTS: A total of 300 pairs of patients (average age 60.9 years; range, 19-89) hospitalized on general medical services or readmitte
