> Dear Paul!
> As we in Austria run a nationwide screening programme for healthy adults

> (appr. 800.000 Examination a year), and we have recently radically 
> reinvented it.

> Thus thousands of  Austrian physicians apply daily:

> 1) The Austrian version of the WHO - AUDIT - (the AUDIT-GMAT) for 
> prediction of alcohol problems
> 2) A CVD questionaire for famliy and personal risk events. This results in 
> a CVD anamnestic score, which flows into ->3)
> 3) A 2-tier CVD scoring based on AHA -calculator (up to age of 40) and 
> NZ - Risk tables (for older than 35) ((both based on Framingham data)
> 4) A three point  scoring system for periodontitis risk (own development, 
> based on a Kaisers Foundation anamnestic tool)

> Subject: What clinical prediction rules do you use?
>
>
>> Dear All,
>> Last year I had asked you about the clinical prediction rules you
>> currently use, and compiled a (short) list. We are going to ask you to
>> do a survey on these shortly, but just wanted to get a full listing
>> 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,
>> --
