Risk score screens
|
|
Score screen 1
Nutritional assessment
|
Fill in data regarding weight, height, age and sex. The calculation will be generated through the application based on the growth interpretation chart, and will present the following results: thinness, severe thinness, eutrophy, risk of overweight, overweight, obesity.
- Severe malnutrition (weight < 10th percentile) corresponds to 5 points.
- Weight ≥ 10th percentile corresponds to 0 points.
|
Investigate the risk signaling for malnutrition according to the information.
- Weights between the 10th and 3rd percentiles characterize a risk situation or nutritional alert.
- Weights between the 3rd and 0.1 percentile represent low weight for age (or insufficient weight gain).
- Values below the 0.1 percentile represent very low weight for age.
|
|
Score screen 2
Child symptoms screen
|
- Child has had a fever or symptoms such as cough, weakness, expectoration, weight loss, sweating for two weeks or more. Yes answer: 15 points.
- Asymptomatic or with symptoms for less than two weeks. Yes answer: 0 points.
|
Investigate symptoms for active TB. |
|
Score screen 3
Antibiotic therapy performed
|
- Did the child have a respiratory infection that improved after using antibiotics for common germs or without antibiotics?
Decrease 15 points.
|
Assess whether children improved after using common antibiotics; if not, there was presumed TB. |
|
Score screen 4
Instigation of contact of adults with TB
|
Investigating whether the child was a close contact in the last two years of an index case for active TB corresponds to 10 points.
Occasional or negative corresponds to 0 points.
|
Record and investigate risk factors with a strong predisposition to TB. |
|
Score screen 5
Tuberculin test analysis
|
Did the child undergo PPD?
PT≥10 mm/10 points.
PT between 5 and 9 mm/5 points.
PT 5 ≤ mm/0 points.
Absence of the above criteria.
|
Record and investigate risk factors with a strong predisposition to TB. |
|
Score screen 6
Radiological picture analysis
|
- Capture the radiograph image for identification by AI: presence of hilar adenomegaly or miliary pattern and/or condensation or infiltrate (with or without excavation).
Time: unchanged for ≥ two weeks.
- Presence of condensation or infiltrate (with or without excavation)? Time: ≥ two weeks.
Yes answer: 15 points.
- Condensation or infiltrate of any type for less than two weeks. Yes answer: 5 points.
- Normal radiograph. Decrease 5 points.
|
Perform a real-time reading of the chest X-ray of children being investigated, using the application, using the AI system. AI will analyze the radiological changes in the images; then, the score will be filled in automatically, generating a score and decision-making. |
|
Score screen 7
Result with presentation of a graph with the measurement of risk and indication of conduct
|
Generation of a risk graph presenting the results and analysis of each scored item with the measurement of risk and indication of conduct according to the score.
Presentation of results through the risk graph and exposure of children to TB.
|
Presentation of results through a graph of the child’s risk and exposure to TB according to score analysis. High risk for TB: >40; moderate risk: between 30 and 35; and low risk: >25.
Direction based on the result.
High score - start treatment. The basic regimen in children (<10 years of age) consists of three drugs, in the intensive phase (RHZ), and two drugs, in the maintenance phase (RH), with individualized pharmacological presentations (tablets and/or suspension). Moderate score: guidance to start treatment at the physician’s discretion.
Low score: guidance on other examination options for investigation.
