A high score corresponds to a greater risk of stroke, while a low score corresponds to a lower risk of stroke. The CHADS 2 score is simple and has been validated by many studies. [2] In clinical use, the CHADS 2 score (pronounced "chads two") has been superseded by the CHA 2 DS 2-VASc score ("chads vasc" [3]), which gives a better ...
The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 and 4. For each item, a score of 0 typically indicates normal function in that specific ability, while a higher score is indicative of some level of impairment. [1] The individual scores from each item are summed in order to calculate a patient's total NIHSS ...
The study found the score to be 31.6% sensitive in high-risk patients (score >5) and only 12.5% specific in low-risk patients (score ≤2). ... stroke can be ...
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 [1] [2] model to assess risk of death at ICU admission
2020 ESC guidelines on atrial fibrillation recommend assessment of bleeding risk in AF using the HAS-BLED bleeding risk schema as a simple, easy calculation, [7] whereby a score of ≥3 indicates "high risk" and some caution and regular review of the patient is needed. [8] The HAS-BLED score has also been validated in an anticoagulated trial ...
Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale is an index to assess the sensorimotor impairment in individuals who have had stroke. [1] This scale was first proposed by Axel Fugl-Meyer and his colleagues as a standardized assessment test for post-stroke recovery in their paper titled The post-stroke hemiplegic patient: A method for evaluation of physical performance.
The Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen (abbreviated LAPSS) is a method of identifying potential stroke patients in a pre-hospital setting. [ 1 ] Screening criteria
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.
