Prediction models for functional status in community dwelling older adults: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Disability poses a burden for older persons, and is associated with poor outcomes and high societal costs. Prediction models could potentially identify persons who are at risk for disability. An up to date review of such models is missing.

Objective

To identify models developed for the prediction of functional status in community dwelling older persons.

Methods

A systematic review was performed including studies of older persons that developed and/or validated prediction models for the outcome functional status. Medline and EMBASE were searched, and reference lists and prospective citations were screened for additional references. Risk of bias was assessed using the PROBAST-tool. The performance of models was described and summarized, and the use of predict
