We examined the predictive validity of a job-specific functional capacity evaluation (FCE) in relation to the return to work of patients with a distal radius fracture.
Return-to-work recommendations for 194 participants with a distal radius fracture were based on FCE performance. Three months after the evaluation, participants were contacted to ascertain their employment status to examine the predictive validity of each FCE-based rating.
The recommendation return to previous job (94.83%) was correct more often than the recommendations do not work at the moment (60.47%), change job (52.63%), and return to previous job with modifications (9.38%). A longer period from injury to FCE and compensable injury reduces the predictive ability of job-specific FCE.
Job-specific FCE shows a better predictive validity in relation to the return to work of patients with a specific injury, such as a distal radius fracture, than of patients with a nonspecific injury.
我们研究了特定工作的功能能力评估(FCE)与桡骨远端骨折患者重返工作岗位之间的预测效度。
根据 FCE 表现,为 194 名桡骨远端骨折患者制定了重返工作岗位的建议。在评估后 3 个月,联系参与者以确定他们的就业状况,以检验基于每项 FCE 的评分的预测效度。
推荐返回原工作(94.83%)的准确性高于目前不工作(60.47%)、换工作(52.63%)和返回原工作但需调整(9.38%)。从受伤到 FCE 的时间较长和可赔偿的损伤会降低特定工作 FCE 的预测能力。
与非特异性损伤的患者相比,特定工作的 FCE 对特定损伤(如桡骨远端骨折)患者的工作恢复具有更好的预测效度。
