Using the worksheetPatients are assigned a single score for each numbered group. For visual ease, we have designed the worksheet so that this score is entered next to the corresponding symptom severity level. For example, a person with moderate AMS might get 2 points for moderate headache, 1 point for poor appetite, and 1 point for mild fatigue, for a total symptom score of 4. In addition, this person might get 1 point for facial edema, for a clinical assessment score of 1 and a total AMS score of 5. Serial evaluations several hours apart give a good measure of whether a patient is responding to treatment or deteriorating. Notes on Nepali: the words are given in a standard phonetic transliteration. (This page looks best printed in a fixed-width font) |
