“…Subgroup analyses were completed by the type of intervention and duration of follow-up. ADL was assessed using the Barthel Index (BI) (which is the most common used to evaluate ADL) in the following three different ways: cutting BI scores at 95 to create a dichotomous variable, so as to report an independence rate (BI scores ≥95 were considered to be independent) [12,16,17,18,19,20,21,22], using BI scores as continuous variables (ranging from 0 to 100) [10,23,24,25,26,27], or using a short version of the Barthel Index with scores ranging from 0 to 20 [28,29,30]. The three ways of assessing ADL were discriminated in the meta-analysis.…”
