It is often used as part of other scoring systems. FOUR score - 17-point scale for the assessment of level of consciousness. Aims to have higher sensitivity and specificity then GCS, applicable in intubated patients. CMM - Cancer Mortality Model [1] specific score to predict outcome of critical cancer patients; MPM - Mortality Probability Model ...
APACHE II ("Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II") is a severity-of-disease classification system, [1] one of several ICU scoring systems.It is applied within 24 hours of admission of a patient to an intensive care unit (ICU): an integer score from 0 to 71 is computed based on several measurements; higher scores correspond to more severe disease and a higher risk of death.
The original scoring system was developed before the invention of pulse oximetry and used the patient's colouration as a surrogate marker of their oxygenation status. A modified Aldrete scoring system was described in 1995 [2] which replaces the assessment of skin colouration with the use of pulse oximetry to measure SpO 2.
The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score (published by Oken et al. in 1982), also called the WHO or Zubrod score (after C. Gordon Zubrod), runs from 0 to 5, with 0 denoting perfect health and 5 death: [2] Its advantage over the Karnofsky scale lies in its simplicity. 0 – Asymptomatic (Fully active, able to carry on all predisease ...
The test was created by Harvey S. Levin and colleagues (1979), and features ten questions that assess temporal and spatial orientation, biographical recall, and memory. [2] Points are awarded for responses to each question, with a 100 points possible.
EDSS steps 1.0 to 4.5 refer to people with MS who are fully ambulatory. EDSS steps 5.0 to 9.5 are defined by the impairment to ambulation. The clinical meaning of each possible result is the following: 0.0: Normal Neurological Exam; 1.0: No disability, minimal signs in 1 FS; 1.5: No disability, minimal signs in more than 1 FS; 2.0: Minimal ...
The scale shows good measurement invariance as a one factor scale with both latino and non-latino populations. [3] Items are rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely"). The IES-R yields a total score (ranging from 0 to 88) and subscale scores can also be calculated for the Intrusion, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal ...
