  2. FRAX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRAX

    FRAX (fracture risk assessment tool) is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate the 10-year probability of bone fracture risk. It was developed by the University of Sheffield . [ 1 ]

  3. Framingham Risk Score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framingham_Risk_Score

    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 ]

    Bone densities are often given to patients as a T score or a Z score. A T score tells the patient what their bone mineral density is in comparison to a young adult of the same gender with peak bone mineral density. A normal T score is -1.0 and above, low bone density is between -1.0 and -2.5, and osteoporosis is -2.5 and lower.

    The modified UPDRS retains the four-scale structure with a reorganization of the various subscales. Score ranges from 0 to 260, [7] [8] with 0 indicating no disability and 260 indicating total disability. The scales are: Part I: Nonmotor experiences of daily living: 13 items. Score range: 0–52, [8] 10 and below is mild, 22 and above is severe ...

  6. Trabecular bone score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabecular_bone_score

    The trabecular bone score is a measure of bone texture correlated with bone microarchitecture and a marker for the risk of osteoporosis. Introduced in 2008, [ 1 ] its main projected use is alongside measures of bone density in better predicting fracture risk in people with metabolic bone problems.

  7. Risk score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_score

    It assigns scores to individuals based on risk factors; a higher score reflects higher risk. The score reflects the level of risk in the presence of some risk factors (e.g. risk of mortality or disease in the presence of symptoms or genetic profile, risk financial loss considering credit and financial history, etc.).

  8. Early warning system (medical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_warning_system_(medical)

    In the UK, the Royal College of Physicians developed the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in 2012 to replace local or regional scores. [16] [17] [18] The NEWS score is the largest national EWS effort to date and has been adopted by some international healthcare services. [1] A second version of the score was introduced in 2017.

  9. Phred quality score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phred_quality_score

    Phred quality scores shown on a DNA sequence trace. A Phred quality score is a measure of the quality of the identification of the nucleobases generated by automated DNA sequencing. [1] [2] It was originally developed for the computer program Phred to help in the automation of DNA sequencing in the Human Genome Project.
