Hi list,
Here are some others that I use;
NEXUS c-spine rule
Canadian Head CT rule
CAGE for alcohol or drug abuse
Wells criteria for Pulmonary Embolism
Mini Mental Status Exam for delerium or dementia
Patterson and Horowitz (JACC 1989) prediction of probability of coronrary artery disease
Septic hip in children (kocher, JBJS, 1999)
Most of these I keep in my briefcase while I am working and pull them out liberally, often as a teaching tool.

The two lists from Paul and Franz raise an interesting question for me about
what are clinical prediction rules and case finding or screening
instruments, and what is the difference.
The fact that there are different readers' guides to medical literature for
each (well one for clinical prediction rules and one for diagnostic tests -
I have used the later to assess screening instruments) suggests there is a
difference even if there is some broad overlap between the guides (eg a
validation and evaluation data sets).
But I cannot resolve whether there is a difference between prediction rules
and case-finding instruments, when it comes to use, so perhaps the
difference simply lies in the way they are built. I would welcome
illumination from those with more knowledge and experience of the two.
And perhaps I should have been using the readers' guides for prediction
rules to assess case-finding instruments. Comments welcomed.

>> Dear All,
>> Last year I had asked you about the clinical prediction rules you

>> before we do. So can I ask you to check the list below and add any other
>> clinical prediction rules/score that you use in clinical practice?
>>
>> Ottawa ankle rules for ankle fracture
>> Framingham CVD 5-year risk score (eg Rod Jackson's)
>> Simplified Walsh strep throat rule (5 items)
>> Wells DVT rules
>> Whooley 2-questions for depression (or the new 3-question version)
>> Appendicitis - Alvarado score
>> Mini-cog for dementia
>> Ottawa cervical spine rule
>> Ottawa knee rule for knee fracture
>> Pneumonia mortality rule
>> Bishop score for cervical ripening for prediction of induction of labor.
>> Apgar score for neonatal asphyxia.
>> ABCD rule for stroke risk after a TIA
>>
>> Many thanks,
