Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main outcome parameter will be functional status (being able to function independently). It will be measured using the instrument prescribed in the minimal dataset. i.e. KATZ-15, and the physical performance score by Guralnik. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Use of care which was not planned will also be an important outcome parameter. Characteristics of somatic, functional, cognitive and psychosocial status will be assessed as potential determinants. Somatic status will be characterized with vascular status (large artery stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness) and bone and body fat status (bone mineral density, lean and fat mass, intra-abdominal and peripheral fat). Functional status will be further characterized by hand grip strength, peak flow measurement, six minute walking test and physical activity. Cognitive status will be assessed in the domains of memory, processing capacity and speed, and executive functions. Psychosocial status will be characterized by quality of life, depression, anxiety and panic disorder, and self management ability questionnaires. As much as possible we will not only assess what people are capable of doing, but also what they actually do. Whenever possible we will use similar tests or measurements as were used at the baseline visit, to maximize the potential to study changes over time in addition to the current status. | — |
