Method evidence record

Duke Activity Status Index

The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) is a 12-item self-report questionnaire that estimates functional capacity—the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) a patient can achieve—based on their ability to perform common daily activities. Developed by Hlatky and colleagues in 1989, the DASI provides a non-invasive assessment of exercise tolerance and cardiovascular fitness equivalent to formal exercise stress testing, making it invaluable for risk stratification, treatment planning, and prognosis in cardiac and pulmonary populations.
