Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Acute Care Index of Function (ACIF)

  • Was developed for neurological patients.
  • Is highly reliable for measuring physical function in ICU patients.
  • Valid in ICU, being closely correlated with the ICU Mobility Scale.
  • Strongly predicts the likelihood of discharge home from hospital.
  • May be a useful in the core set of outcome measures for ICU survivors[1]
