Description

The FADIO=COMPLIMED scores can help to measure the complexity of patients admitted to an internal medicine ward. Nardi et al reported 2 scores which can be used to predict in-hospital morality, with analysis shown in Figure 2a.


Complimed may be for complexity of internal medicine.

 

Parameters:

(1) Barthel Index, from 0 (dependent) to 100 (independent)

(2) Exton-Smith Scale for pressure sores from 5 to 20

(3) Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)

 

complimed score 1

= mean of BS' and ES'

 

BS' = 100 - (Barthel index)

 

ES' = (20 - (Exton Smith scale)) / 15 * 100

 

complimed score 2 is based on the Charlson score

 

Charlson Score

complimed 2

<= 14

(CCI) / 14 * 100

> 14

100

 

Figure 2a shows the plot of Complimed Score 1 (x-axis) and Complimed Score 2 (y-axis).
