Age Cerebrospinal Fluid Glucose CSF Glucose mg per dL Cerebrospinal Fluid Protein CSF Protein mg per dL Cerebrospinal Fluid White Blood Cell Count CSF WBC cells per mm3 Blood Glucose mg per dL Explanation and Clinical Context This tool assists clinicians by providing a structured evaluation of the probability of bacterial meningitis using variables derived from cerebrospinal fluid studies and basic laboratory measure
C Difficile Recurrence Risk Score Explanation and Clinical Context C Difficile infection remains a significant cause of morbidity particularly in older adults and in individuals with repeated exposure to antibiotics. Recurrence is a frequent challenge that complicates treatment decisions and impacts long term outcomes. The recurrence risk score provides a structured approach to estimate the likelihood of repeated epi
Dengue Severity Criteria Explanation and Clinical Context Dengue severity classification is an essential tool to support early identification of patients who are at risk of deterioration. The framework is based on internationally accepted clinical criteria that distinguish three major groups which are probable dengue, dengue with warning signs, and severe dengue. Probable dengue is characterized by fever and supporti
HScore for Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Explanation and Clinical Context HScore is a validated clinical tool developed to estimate the probability of reactive Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis also known as secondary HLH. It integrates clinical findings laboratory abnormalities and bone marrow evaluation to produce a weighted score that correlates with the likelihood of HLH. The variables include the degree of
Explanation and Clinical Context This tool provides an estimation of mortality severity in patients presenting with sepsis by integrating several physiologic and biochemical variables that are strongly associated with adverse outcomes. Serum lactate reflects cellular hypoperfusion and metabolic stress. Mean arterial pressure reflects circulatory stability and correlates with the adequacy of organ perfusion. Creatinin
TB Pericarditis Non Cardiac Risk Score Explanation and Clinical Context This clinical scoring system is designed to support the identification of tuberculous pericarditis in patients who present with pericardial effusion without dominant cardiac causes. The score uses simple non cardiac clinical indicators that reflect systemic inflammatory and infectious processes including fever night sweat weight loss prolonged co
