Abstract
Chronic diseases or illnesses are conditions that are slow in progression, of long duration, and have no spontaneous resolution.They have been considered as common precursors for developing disability and have been demonstrated in quantitative research to significantly adversely affect an individual's quality of life, both physically and cognitively.The World Health Organization (WHO) established theInternational Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health(ICF), which is now widely accepted as the global standard, to characterize the different aspects of disability.Moreover, the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) is a practical, generic assessment tool to measure health and disability at the level of population or in clinical practice.There is lack of information regarding the prevalence of physical disability among chronically ill patients admitted to Alexandria Main University Hospital.Also, little is known about which of thesechronic diseases and which factors contribute to higher grades of physical disability. Aim of the Work: The aim of this study was to detect and characterize physical disability in chronically ill patients admitted to the Main University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University.
