INTRODUCTION

This study is the first of four preparatory studies in the process to develop an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for climacteric syndrome. The aim was to identify perimenopausal and postmenopausal limitations in functioning reported in the scientific literature.

METHODS

A systematic literature review was performed on MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Embase and CINAHL including publications from 2010 to 2020. Meaningful concepts were identified from the included studies and linked to the ICF using standardized linking rules.

RESULTS

From the 6935 unique publications found, 300 articles were randomly selected for abstract screening and 48 studies met the inclusion criteria. From these, 1836 meaningful concepts were identified and linked to 158 different ICF categories. Most of them could be linked to the ICF chapter 'Body Functions'. Emotional, sleep, energy and drive as well as thermoregulatory functions and sensation of pain were addressed in >80% of all publications.

CONCLUSION

Climacteric syndrome involves all four components of the ICF, but the focus of scientific research lies on limitations in body functioning. Limitations in body structures, activities and participation and environmental factors were less frequently assessed. The ICF is a valuable tool to describe the multidimensional phenotype of climacteric syndrome.
