The Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis. [1] [2] The scale has been developed by John F. Kurtzke. [1] The EDSS is based on a neurological examination by a clinician. However, a number of versions have been developed which enable patient self-administration. [3]
EDSS can refer to: Elmira District Secondary School , the high school serving the town of Elmira, Ontario, Canada and the surrounding area Expanded Disability Status Scale , a medical scale to monitor the disability changes in multiple sclerosis

In medicine (oncology and other fields), performance status is an attempt to quantify cancer patients' general well-being and activities of daily life. This measure is used to determine whether they can receive chemotherapy, whether dose adjustment is necessary, and as a measure for the required intensity of palliative care.
The data for calculation is obtained from population surveys and period life table. The Sullivan's index collects mortality and disability data separately, and this data is almost often readily available. The Sullivan health expectancy reflects the current health of a real population adjusted for mortality levels and independent of age ...
The applicant is requested to provide information on the disability. During the application process, it is requested for the applicant to list all conditions that contribute to the disability and how they prevent employment.
The general regression model with n observations and k explanators, the first of which is a constant unit vector whose coefficient is the regression intercept, is = + where y is an n × 1 vector of dependent variable observations, each column of the n × k matrix X is a vector of observations on one of the k explanators, is a k × 1 vector of true coefficients, and e is an n× 1 vector of the ...
The uncertainty budget is an aid for specifying the expanded measurement uncertainty.The individual measurement uncertainty factors are summarised, usually in tabular form, in the measurement uncertainty budget.
