Clinical Risk Assessment Metric

A Clinical Risk Assessment Metric is a risk assessment metric that quantifies clinical risk probability of clinical risk adverse health outcomes to guide clinical risk medical decision making.

• AKA: Medical Risk Score, Clinical Risk Calculator, Health Risk Assessment Tool.
• Context:
  • It can typically calculate Clinical Risk Numerical Scores from clinical risk patient data.
  • It can typically stratify Clinical Risk Category Levels for clinical risk treatment thresholds.
  • It can typically predict Clinical Risk Future Events using clinical risk statistical models.
  • It can typically inform Clinical Risk Management Strategy through clinical risk evidence-based guidelines.
  • It can typically integrate Clinical Risk Multiple Variables including clinical risk demographic factors.
  • ...
  • It can often guide Clinical Risk Preventive Intervention for clinical risk high-risk patients.
  • It can often support Clinical Risk Shared Decision Making between clinical risk provider-patient dyads.
  • It can often influence Clinical Risk Resource Allocation in clinical risk healthcare systems.
  • It can often require Clinical Risk Periodic Recalculation as clinical risk patient conditions change.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Clinical Risk Assessment Metric to being a Complex Clinical Risk Assessment Metric, depending on its clinical risk variable count.
  • It can range from being a Disease-Specific Clinical Risk Assessment Metric to being a General Clinical Risk Assessment Metric, depending on its clinical risk application scope.
  • ...
  • It can be validated through Clinical Risk Cohort Studys demonstrating clinical risk predictive accuracy.
  • It can be implemented in Clinical Risk Decision Support Systems for clinical risk automated calculation.
  • It can be updated with Clinical Risk New Evidence improving clinical risk model performance.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Metrics, such as:
    • Coronary Calcium Score quantifying clinical risk atherosclerotic burden.
    • Framingham Risk Score predicting clinical risk 10-year cardiovascular events.
    • ASCVD Risk Calculator estimating clinical risk atherosclerotic disease probability.
  • Cancer Risk Assessment Metrics, such as:
    • Gail Model for clinical risk breast cancer prediction.
    • Lung-RADS Score for clinical risk lung nodule management.
    • Gleason Score grading clinical risk prostate cancer aggressiveness.
  • Surgical Risk Assessment Metrics, such as:
    • APACHE Score predicting clinical risk icu mortality.
    • POSSUM Score estimating clinical risk surgical morbidity.
    • ASA Physical Status classifying clinical risk anesthesia risk.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Diagnostic Test Result, which identifies disease presence rather than clinical risk future probability.
  • Severity Score, which measures current disease burden rather than clinical risk prospective outcome.
  • Quality Metric, which assesses care delivery rather than clinical risk patient outcome.
