Score the Barthel Index (basic activities of daily living)

Source: R/com-instruments-adl.R
scoreBarthel.Rd

The Barthel Index rates ten basic ADL domains on their conventional weighted scale (steps of 5; transfers and mobility to 15) for a total of 0-100, higher being more independent.

Usage

scoreBarthel(items, ...)

Arguments

items

Named numeric responses on the weighted per-item scale (e.g. feeding = 10, bathing = 5, transfers = 15), or an unnamed vector in the instrument's item order. Allowed values are the conventional weights (0/5/10, and 0/5/10/15 for transfers and mobility).

...

Passed to scoreInstrument() (e.g. missing, subject_id).

Value

A ClinicalScore with the total (0-100) and the dependence stratum (total / severe / moderate / slight dependence / independent).
