Tài liệu Báo cáo y học: "Medical algorithms and formulas"

The Medical Algorithm Project is a database of international scores and formulae commonly used in various clinical specialties and research, including critical care. In addition to scores such as the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, the calculators in other subspecialties may be of interest to intensivists (e.g. cardiology, transfusion medicine, nephrology). Topics are indexed by specialty and are downloadable as Microsoft® Excel datasheets, in which one can insert data to calculate a specific scale, value or equation. Despite the title, no visual algorithms for clinical decisions are listed, but the site is a useful tool, especially for intensive care unit research, in which monitoring of patients requires ‘ready to use’ systems to obtain scores easily.
