Accuracy of the AM-PAC BMSF in Predicting Discharge Physical Therapy Referrals in Pediatric Acute Care
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the accuracy of the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care "6-Clicks" Inpatient Basic Mobility Short Form (AM-PAC BMSF) in predicting discharge outcomes in a pediatric acute care setting and identifying a cutoff score for outpatient physical therapy referrals. METHODS: A retrospective analysis included initial AM-PAC BMSF scores from 2014 children aged 4 to 17 years hospitalized for more than 72 hours. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis assessed the tool's sensitivity and specificity in predicting postdischarge physical therapy referrals. RESULTS: Children referred to outpatient physical therapy had significantly lower initial AM-PAC BMSF scores. A raw score of 17 to 18 (49% impairment) was the optimal cutoff score for predicting outpatient physical therapy referrals. CONCLUSIONS: The AM-PAC BMSF, completed at the initial evaluation, can moderately predict the need for outpatient physical therapy following pediatric acute care discharge. A cutoff score of 18 may support more proactive and targeted discharge planning.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
