ANSWR- A. KARTZ INDEX OF ACTIVITY OF DAILY LIVING IS RIGHT ANSWER. Because this scale use techniques to assess the cognitive impact of chronic disease.

The Charlson Comorbidity Index is a method of categorizing comorbidities of patients based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis codes found in administrative data, such as hospital abstracts data. A score of zero indicates that no comorbidities were found.
