Evidence of the use of the Perme Intensive Care Unit Mobility Score in hospitalized adults: a scoping review.

This is a scoping review, so it maps what has been studied rather than proving that the Perme Score improves mobility or discharge outcomes. No formal quality assessment was done for the 29 included studies, so the summary does not distinguish stronger from weaker studies. Most studies were in ICUs, and only two were in hospital wards, so the evidence may not apply to ordinary inpatient units. Included studies used different populations, timing and outcomes, so score values are not directly comparable. The review found no additional tests of psychometric properties or construct validity for the adapted versions. In a reliability study, pain and ability to follow commands had lower agreement.

Do not conclude that the Perme Score improves mobility, discharge or survival. This is a scoping review of 29 heterogeneous studies, and it did not assess study quality or test whether the score changes outcomes.
