Discussed the MOST score. The MOST score is a equation derived from the Charlson Comorbid index, the Glascow Coma Score, the ADL, systolic BP, heart rate, respiratory rate, white blood cell count the sex of the patient and their age. With these variable the equation can predict the likelihood of the patient having an adverse outcome such as death, a cardiac arrest and readmission or admission to an ICU. This equation was validated based on data collected | Discussed the MOST score. The MOST score is a equation derived from the Charlson Comorbid index, the Glascow Coma Score, the ADL, systolic BP, heart rate, respiratory rate, white blood cell count the sex of the patient and their age. With these variable the equation can predict the likelihood of the patient having an adverse outcome such as death, a cardiac arrest and readmission or admission to an ICU. This equation was validated based on data collected at HSC, SBGH, the Grace and Victoria hospital on over 11,000 patients admitted to medical units in 2004/2005. There is no existing tool that can make such prediction for non ICU patients. This makes this equation and the research conducted by Dr. Roberts and Julie extremely valuable and powerful. | ||
