Objective: To evaluate of the modified severity of obstetrical illness scoring system for predicting the outcome of critically ill obstetric patients. Methods: A total of 165 critically ill obstetric patients were enrolled. The modified severity of obstetrical illness score and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) were used to evaluate the severity of obstetrical illness. ...

Early diagnosis and severity evaluation in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) are very important due to its potential morbidity and mortality. Several clinical, laboratory, and radiologic factors, and many scoring systems have been proposed for outcome prediction. Although the Ranson and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scoring systems have been widely used for decades, the ...

OBJECTIVES To analyse the clinical manifestations and severity of Behçet's disease (BD) in Korea according to geographic region of residence, and to identify risk factors associated with clinical severity. METHODS We enrolled 246 BD patients (88 males) who fulfilled the criteria of the International Study Group for BD. These patients were assigned into two groups: a Western group comprising 1...

Coronavirus (COVID 19) disease predominantly affects the Respiratory system and cause by Severe Acute Syndrome 2 (SARS-COV2). It enters into host cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2), a part of renin-angiotensin (RAS) found in epithelium nasal, lungs.
 Aim: Chest Radiographic findings COVID-19 patients detected for COVID care. Applying novel chest radiographic scoring disease-...

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD), the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease, is evolving as a systemic disease, and associated systemic inflammation is possibly linked to increases in cardiovascular disease. Methods: We assessed levels of the inflammatory marker CRP in 59 patients with moderate-to-severe AD compared to matched healthy controls, and to determine correlation with skin d...

This article addresses the criteria for severity assessment and the severity scoring system of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan; now the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (the JPN score). It also presents data comparing the JPN score with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and the Ranson score, which are the major measuring scales used...

698 British Journal ofGeneral Practice, November 2011 ADVANTAGESOVEREXISTING TECHNOLOGY An alternative method for detecting chronic obstructivepulmonarydisease (COPD) is the use of symptom scoring. Pulse oximetry is not useful for the initial diagnosis of COPD, but is used in assessing severity at a later stage of disease. Peak flow is not used to diagnose COPD, but serial measurements may be u...

BACKGROUND Children with cancer experience multiple symptoms due to their disease and as a result of treatment. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and potential utility of using latent profile analysis (LPA), a type of cluster analysis, in children with cancer to identify groups of patients who experience similar levels of symptom severity and impairment of physical fu...
