TL;DR
The FCI, when compared to either the SF-36 or the SIP, however, appears to discriminate better among patients according to the presence and severity of head trauma.
Abstract
While further testing of the FCI is needed, it holds promise as a preference based measure for assessing the physical impact of trauma.
