TLDR
The extended ADL scale could be used as a postal questionnaire to assist in the follow-up of patients discharged home after a stroke and can be monitored and patients can also be compared on the basis of their scale score.Abstract:
A ranked assessment of daily living (ADL) scale has been developed to assess activities which may be important to stroke patients who have been discharged home. A questionnaire incorporating 22 ADL activities in four sections was sent by post to 80 consecutively registered stroke patients. Gutmann scaling was carried out on the returned questionnaires, producing acceptable coefficients of reproducibility and scalability. The revised questionnaire was then sent to 20 stroke patients. The same patients were sent an identical questionnaire two weeks later. The overall level of agreement between the two assessments was satisfactory. The extended ADL scale could therefore be used as a postal questionnaire to assist in the follow-up of patients discharged home after a stroke. Due to the scaling properties of the assessment, patient's progress can be monitored and patients can also be compared on the basis of their scale score.read more

TL;DR: Among adults with PAD and intermittent claudication, a home-based, walking exercise behavior change intervention, compared with usual care, resulted in improved walking distance at 3 months and further research is needed to determine the durability of these findings.

Role of patient-reported symptoms and functioning in the care of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
TL;DR: A training programme for oncologists is developed which may help increase the clinical utility of patient reported HRQoL data and an instrument for screening and identifying the needs of CRC patients in routine clinical practice is developed.

Effect of the OPTIMAL programme on self-management of multimorbidity in primary care: a randomised controlled trial.
TL;DR: OptIMAL was found to be ineffective in improving health-related quality of life or activity participation at 6-month follow-up and preplanned subgroup analyses suggest that future research should target younger adults (<65 years) with multimorbidity.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is used to detect a difference between two different proportions of a given proportion in a single proportion.

Social activities after stroke: Measurement and natural history using the Frenchay Activities Index
TL;DR: A method of assessing general activities of stroke patients is described: the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), a scale comprising 15 individual activities summed to give an overall score from 0 (low) to 45 (high), to establish the validity and reliability of the index.

The significance of intensity of rehabilitation of stroke--a controlled trial.
TL;DR: In this article, the functional recovery of stroke, measured by ADL and motor function was significantly better in the intensive treatment group compared to the normal treatment group, and there was no difference in institutionalization or incidence of death between the groups.
