It consists of five scales measuring dysfunction [physical functioning (PF), role physical (RP), role emotional (RE), social functioning (SF) and bodily pain (BP)] and three scales measuring negative as well as positive aspects of health [mental health (MH), vitality (VT) and general health (GH)].
As nerve conduction studies are able to measure dysfunction of large myelinated fibres, but not of small or unmyelinated fibres, the early detection of TTR-FAP remains difficult.
Let us examine the Rankin stroke scale, an instrument widely used to measure dysfunction in patients who experienced a stroke [ 14].
Alternatively, if several exposures act through the same biological pathway, methods for quantifying biomarkers of exposure (or effect) within the pathway can be developed to measure dysfunction in the pathway.
ADS: The General (in German: "Allgemeine") Depression Scale [ 23 ] measures dysfunction that can be attributed to depressive symptoms over the last week with 20 items rated on a four-point scale in a self-administered questionnaire.
Few studies have measured cognitive dysfunction in older adults during acute exacerbations of heart failure (HF), even though 25% of patients are readmitted within 30 days.
CD34+-cell levels tended to correlate negatively with all levels of measured endothelial dysfunction parameters at baseline.
Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) was calculated to evaluate severity of disease and Sequential Organ Dysfunction Assessment (SOFA) to measure organ dysfunction.
Using multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA), and other outcomes for measuring organ dysfunction represent the first steps to quantify physiologic derangement.
He developed random-dot tests and other methods to measure the dysfunction, called eye tracking, as an entry to examine the broader genetic causes underlying mental disease.
