The "Comprehensive ICF Core Set for rheumatoid arthritis" represents the typical spectrum of problems in functioning of patients with rheumatoid arthritis according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The objective of this study was to validate this ICF Core Set from the perspective of physicians.
Physicians experienced in rheumatoid arthritis treatment were asked about the problems they commonly treat in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in a 3-round survey using the Delphi technique. Responses were linked to the ICF.
Seventy-nine physicians in 41 countries named 512 patients' problems. Two hundred and 27 ICF categories were linked to these answers. Twenty-six ICF categories were not represented in the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for rheumatoid arthritis and 19 aspects were not covered by the ICF.
The content validity of 3 ICF components was well supported. However, several body functions were identified that are not covered and need to be investigated further.
根据《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF），“类风湿关节炎综合核心组”代表了类风湿关节炎患者功能障碍的典型问题范围。本研究的目的是从医生的角度验证这个 ICF 核心组。
对具有类风湿关节炎治疗经验的医生进行了一项使用德尔菲技术进行的 3 轮调查，询问他们在类风湿关节炎患者中常见的治疗问题。这些回答与 ICF 相关联。
41 个国家的 79 名医生共提出了 512 名患者的问题。202 个和 27 个 ICF 类别与这些答案相关联。在“类风湿关节炎综合核心组”中没有包括 26 个 ICF 类别，而 ICF 没有涵盖 19 个方面。
三个 ICF 成分的内容效度得到了很好的支持。然而，还确定了一些未涵盖的身体功能，需要进一步研究。
