Reliability and validity of the interRAI Check-Up Self-Reported (CUSR) Assessment.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAs the global population ages, the need for community-based tools to assess the functional status and care needs of older adults is increasing. This study examined the reliability, validity, and feasibility of the interRAI Check-Up Self-Reported (CUSR) in a low-income urban district in Seoul, South Korea.
methodsA total of 158 older adults participated in this study. The interRAI CUSR was administered by trained lay interviewers, and psychometric testing was conducted using interrater reliability, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity measures. The study assessed the agreement between self-reported and clinician-administered assessments as well as participant feedback on feasibility and acceptability.
resultsThe interRAI CUSR demonstrated good psychometric properties, with interrater reliability scores (mean kappa = 0.97, Gwet's AC1 = 0.99) and test-retest reliability (mean kappa = 0.76, Gwet's AC1 = 0.94), indicating high levels of agreement. Criterion validity showed strong correlations with the items in the interRAI Check-Up (CU) administered by clinicians. The participants reported that the tool was easy to use and accurately reflected their health status. Overall, the interRAI CUSR was found to be a reliable and feasible tool for generally healthy, pre-frail older adults residing in low-income communities.
conclusionThe interRAI CUSR is a valuable tool for assessing the functional status of older adults living independently in low-income communities. By enabling self-assessment with the support of laypersons, this tool may reduce the burden on health care professionals and enhance community-based care. Further research is required to expand its applicability to diverse settings and populations.
