It was intended as a visualized, action-oriented decision-support tool for the early assessment of bio-psychosocial health risks and health needs. This study aims to document the reliability and applicability of the Spanish version of INTERMED in liver transplant patients.MethodsCros… Show more

“…(8)(9)(10)(11) The profile of the elderly investigated in this study showed a mean age of 72.3 years, females predominated, with a socioeconomic income in the range of three times the minimum wage, a profile that was similar to that observed in the literature. (12)(13)(14)(15) The increase in longevity was a response to the evolution of medical science, however, the quality of life of the elderly was one of the greatest challenges in developing countries, where poverty and social inequality were highlighted.…”

“…Potential contributory factors were collected from routinely administered scales and medical records for all patients, and these were divided into biological, psychological, and social factors. Biological factors include (1) diagnosis category (rotator cuff/bursa injuries versus others); (2) Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score (minor injury versus others) [ 1 ]; (3) Cumulative Illness Rating Scale [ 25 ], which assesses medical comorbidities (range, 0–56); and (4) the biological subscale (ie, chronicity, diagnostic dilemma, symptom severity/impairment, therapeutic challenge, and life threats [ 20 ]) of the INTERMED tool (range, 0–15) [ 18 , 27 , 39 ].…”
