[Estimation of severity of illness in intensive care: validation of physiologic stability index].

Revista chilena de pediatria, 1991
Physiological stability index (PSI) is a score proposed to evaluate the severity of different diseases in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) by giving scores to the deterioration of 34 measurable physiological variables. In order to validate PSI, it was prospectively applied to 132 patients who entered our PICU. A significant difference (p less than

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.
