| 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%]. |
