Utilidad del cuestionario de Barber para seleccionar a personas de 75 años o más con riesgo de hospitalización, institucionalización o muerte

The present study is one of the few studies in Spain on the utility of the BQ. This questionnaire presents considerable limitations for use in screening with poor predictive value and deficiencies in content validity, while association with deteriorated functional-cognitive status can influence the results. Items 9 and 6 and functional alteration better predict adverse events.
