To investigate the clinical application of the Barthel Index as an indicator of nursing dependency in a younger disabled unit.
A prospective study of 132 patients (mean age 49) with chronic neurological problems.
A younger disabled unit at a District General Hospital, Oxford.
The Barthel Index, and total nursing hours.
The Median Barthel Index was 7 (95% confidence interval 6-9). The mean nursing hours were 2.7 +/- 1.7 (CI 2.41-2.99). Spearman rank order correlation coefficient between the Barthel Index and nursing hours was r = -0.69 (CI -0.79 to -0.59).
Regression analysis showed that it was possible to use the Barthel Index as an indicator of nursing dependency particularly in physical care, and that it was independent of age and diagnosis.
研究巴氏指数作为年轻残疾单元护理依赖指标的临床应用。
对132例（平均年龄49岁）慢性神经问题患者进行的前瞻性研究。
牛津地区综合医院的一个年轻残疾单元。
巴氏指数和总护理时长。
巴氏指数中位数为7（95%置信区间6 - 9）。平均护理时长为2.7 +/- 1.7（置信区间2.41 - 2.99）。巴氏指数与护理时长之间的斯皮尔曼等级相关系数为r = -0.69（置信区间-0.79至-0.59）。
回归分析表明，巴氏指数可作为护理依赖的指标，尤其在身体护理方面，且与年龄和诊断无关。
