Validation of the Life-Space Assessment (LSA-CI) in multi-morbid, older persons without cognitive impairment.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe "Life-Space Assessment in Persons with Cognitive Impairment" (LSA-CI) to assess mobility within the environment including frequency and independence in 1 week has been developed for and successfully validated in older persons with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. However, its psychometric properties in persons without cognitive impairment are unknown. This study aims to validate the LSA-CI in older persons without cognitive impairment.
methodsComprehensive validation with construct validity, test-retest reliability and sensitivity to change of the LSA-CI including the main composite score and three sub-scores in community-dwelling older persons recruited during geriatric rehabilitation.
resultsExcellent feasibility with 100% completion rate and an average assessment duration of 4 min in 65 older, multimorbid persons (mean age: 81.4 ± 5.9 years; 72.3% female; average number of diagnoses: 11.1 ± 4.4). The LSA-CI composite score stood out with moderate to high construct validity (Spearman correlation coefficients |0.26|-|0.60|), excellent test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.890) and moderate sensitivity to change (adjusted standardized response mean 0.70). Analysis of sub-scores confirmed most of the composite score results.
conclusionsThe LSA-CI represents a valid, reliable, responsive, and highly feasible assessment method in multi-morbid, older persons without cognitive impairment, supporting the use of the LSA-CI in clinical practice and research.
