Abstract

Objective: Synthesize the possibilities of using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in children's health. Methods: The review process followed the recommendations of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes). The review was carried out in the MEDLINE (Pubmed), LILACS and SciELO databases, comprising studies in English, Portuguese or Spanish, published until 2018. Results: 2375 studies were identified, of which 1145 were excluded due to duplication, leaving 1230 for analysis. In the end, 29 articles were chosen for the elaboration of this study. It was possible to observe a great diversity of use of the ICF, from use as outcomes of clinical trials, use of the biopsychosocial model and use of ICF concepts and categories. All components of the ICF were mentioned among the studies, with greater emphasis on the component of bodily functions and activity and participation. Conclusions: ICF is an important and useful tool for the classification of children's functionality holistically in clinical trials, observational studies and in clinical practice. In addition, it is possible to monitor child development on the basis of ICF qualifiers.
