Guide for use: | This metadata item contributes to the definition of the concept 'Disability' and gives an indication of the experience of disability for a person. Impairments of body structure or body function are problems in body structure or function such as a loss or significant departure from population standards or averages. CODE 0 No impairment Used when there is no significant variation from accepted population standards in the biomedical status of the body structure or its functions [0-4%]. CODE 1 Mild impairment Used when there is a slight or low variation from accepted population standards in the biomedical status of the body structure or its functions [5-24%]. CODE 2 Moderate impairment Used when there is a medium (significant but not severe) variation from accepted population standards in the biomedical status of the body structure or its functions [25-49%]. CODE 3 Severe impairment Used when there is an extreme variation from accepted population standards in the biomedical status of the body structure or its functions [50-95%]. CODE 4 Complete impairment Used when there is a total variation from accepted population standards in the biomedical status of the body structure or its functions [96-100%]. |

Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | This coding is to be used in conjunction with specified Body Functions domains. For example, 'a mild impairment of functions related to the brain' to indicate the area of impairment and, potentially, the sorts of interventions that may result in improved functioning. The body function in which an individual experiences an impairment is indicated using the metadata item Person—body function, code (ICF 2001) AN[NNNN]. |
