Although the ALSFRS-R score is a recognized prognostic indicator, [5] it is more useful to compare various indicators including vital capacity (FVC%) and the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) [5] [12] to increase the accuracy of a given prognosis. Relating the ALSFRS-R score to staging criteria is also useful in determining prognosis.
The ALSFRS-R is the most frequently used outcome measure in clinical trials [39] and is used by doctors to track disease progression. [40] Though the degree of variability is high and a small percentage of people have a much slower progression, on average people with ALS lose about 1 ALSFRS-R point per month. [ 41 ]
The Framingham Risk Score is a sex-specific algorithm used to estimate the 10-year cardiovascular risk of an individual. The Framingham Risk Score was first developed based on data obtained from the Framingham Heart Study , to estimate the 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease. [ 1 ]
Simple to calculate: In simple cases, manual computing can be used to calculate a basic score (although some scores use rely on more sophisticated or less transparent calculations that require a computer program). Easily interpreted: The result of the calculation is a single number, with a higher score usually means higher risk.
Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).
The score is an index which takes into account the correlative and causal relationship between mortality and factors including advancing age, burn size, the presence of inhalational injury. [2] Studies have shown that the Baux score is highly correlative with length of stay in hospital due to burns and final outcome.
In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...
Using a structured-interview protocol developed by Charles Hughes, [1] Leonard Berg, John C. Morris and other colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine, a qualified health professional assesses a patient's cognitive and functional performance in six areas: memory, orientation, judgment & problem solving, community affairs, home & hobbies, and personal care.
