- Abstract
Retrospective reports of patients' functional status before hospital admission are often used in longitudinal studies and by clinicians caring for hospitalized patients. However, the validity of these reports has not been established. Our aim was to examine the validity of retrospective reports by testing hypotheses about the relationships these measures would have with other clinical measures if they were valid.
