Neurology

This is a list of all Neurology related medical scores and algorithms with their corresponding calculator/app.

Brief Interview For Mental Status (BIMS)

Evaluates cognitive impairment and can help with dementia diagnosis.

Modified Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living

These are the Collin et al. and Shah et al. modifications to the original Barthel Index that assesses functional disability based on 10 activities of daily life (ADLs).

NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

Checks the existence and severity of acute stroke symptoms and assesses neurological function.

SLUMS Score for Cognitive Impairment

Screens patients with Alzheimer’s, other types of dementia or mild neurocognitive impairment.

Epworth Sleepiness Scale

Diagnoses sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy by evaluating sleep related behaviour.

Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living (ADL)

Assesses functional disability by quantifying patient performance in 10 activities of daily life (ADLs).

AVPU Scale

Assesses the level of awareness of the patient in terms of alertness, verbal or pain stimulation.

MCTSIB (Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance)

Assesses performance of inputs in balance when sensory systems are compromised.

CTSIB (Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction in Balance)

Evaluates postural control under various sensory conditions.

Autism Spectrum Test (Quotient)

Measures the extent of autistic traits in adults and can be used as part of the diagnosis of Asperger syndrome.

Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) Score

Stratifies cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) by their likelihood of PFO-related stroke.

Facial Paralysis House Brackmann Scale

Assesses the degree of facial paralysis induced by facial nerve damage.

Disability Rating Scale (DRS)

Assesses the level of cognitive ability in patients with traumatic brain injury, for disability and rehabilitation purposes.

TIA Stroke Risk ABCD² Score

Predicts chances of stroke at 2, 7 and 90 days after a transient ischemic attack.

Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale

Determines probability of stroke based on facial droop, arm drift and abnormal speech.

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

Determines the degree of disability caused by stroke based on a clinician reported model (mRS).

Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)

Assesses signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease as part of diagnosis and progression monitoring.

Modified NIH Stroke Scale (mNIHSS)

This is the shortened, validated modified version of the NIH Stroke Scale for the screening of neurological function and severity of acute stroke symptoms.

Modified Ashworth Scale

Evaluates spasticity in patients with muscle conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS)

Assesses the impact of fatigue on patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Stroke Recovery Calculator

Prognoses outcome in patients with ischemic stroke based on NIHSS score, time onset and DWI.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Prognosis Calculator

Determines the likelihood of a stroke episode based on five independent risk factors.

Sleep Test

Evaluates the existence of healthy sleep habits and any problems associated with tiredness and insomnia.

Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS Score)

Assesses level of dyskinesias in patients taking neuroleptic medications.

Confusion Assessment Method for Monitoring Delirium (CAM-ICU)

Evaluates and monitors delirium in patients admitted to intensive care unit.

Canadian C-Spine Rule

Uses clinical criteria to rule out need for imaging in cases with suspected cervical spine fracture.
