Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)A fundamental tool for monitoring neurological status. Used to assess the level of consciousness after traumatic brain injuries or neurological disorders.
Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) ScoreAssesses the state of consciousness with a focus on brainstem reflexes and breathing patterns for detailed neurological evaluation.
Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)Assesses the level of sedation and agitation in critically ill patients to adjust sedation therapy.
Modified Aldrete ScoreThe Modified Aldrete Score is used in post-anesthesia care units (PACU) to assess when a patient has recovered sufficiently from anesthesia to be safely discharged to a regular hospital ward.
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA-1)SOFA-1 summarizes dysfunction across six organ systems in adults in the ICU; use the worst values from the documented 24-hour interval.SOFA-1 (original 1996 specification) · Adults in an ICU; use the worst values recorded during the documented 24-hour interval.
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)A standardized tool for assessing stroke severity and neurological impairment, as well as determining treatment strategies.
Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II)APACHE II classifies acute illness severity in adults admitted to an ICU using physiology, age, and severe chronic health status.APACHE II (original 1985 specification) · Adults admitted to an ICU; use the worst values recorded during the first 24 hours after ICU admission.
Wells Score for Pulmonary EmbolismA scale for assessing the clinical probability of pulmonary embolism, used in stable patients (without shock or hypotension) with suspected PE.
Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI)PESI is intended for risk stratification (assessing 30-day mortality) in patients diagnosed with PE to determine the severity of their condition.
Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI, Lee Index)A clinical prognostic index used to assess the risk of major cardiac complications after non-cardiac surgery.
Caprini Risk Score for Venous ThromboembolismA validated tool for assessing the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) based on patient-specific risk factors.
Padua Prediction Score for Risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)Risk stratification model for VTE in hospitalized adult medical patients.
Khorana Risk Score for Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer PatientsPredicts chemotherapy-associated VTE risk in ambulatory adult patients with cancer before a new systemic chemotherapy regimen.
HAS-BLED Bleeding Risk ScoreDesigned to assess the risk of major bleeding within a year in patients taking anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation (AF).
National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2)A scale for assessing the severity of patients with acute respiratory syndromes, focusing more on the current state rather than disease prognosis.
Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (pGCS)Used to assess the level of consciousness in children aged 2 years and under. For those older than 2 years, use the standard Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
Phoenix Sepsis ScoreUsed to monitor the severity of organ dysfunction during intensive care of sepsis in children.
Apgar ScoreA quick test performed on a newborn at 1 and 5 minutes after birth to assess physical condition.
Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA)A tool for rapid sepsis assessment without the need for lab tests, making it especially useful in emergencies and resource-limited settings.
FLACC Pain ScaleAn observational scale used in patients unable to communicate their pain. Used to assess pain in children aged 2 months to 7 years, including those with developmental delays; excluding paralyzed patients.
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)Commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability.
El-Ganzouri Risk Index (EGRI) for Difficult AirwayIt is a multivariate risk score used to estimate the risk of "difficult airways" during intubation.
SMART-COP Score for Severe PneumoniaDesigned to identify individuals who require intensive respiratory or vasopressor support (IRVS) support due to pneumonia but can be used only for patients older than 18.
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS)Intensive-care severity index that grades dysfunction in six organ systems—respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, hematologic, and neurologic
Apfel Score for Postoperative Nausea and VomitingClinical score used to predict the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in surgical patients.
