CURB-65 death rates checked against the paper that defined the score

CURB-65 grades community-acquired pneumonia in adults with one point each for confusion, raised urea, fast breathing, low blood pressure and age 65 or over. A set of per-score death rates repeated beside it online is not in the 2003 paper that defined it, and the paper's urea cut of 7 mmol/L works out at 19.6 mg/dL of blood urea nitrogen.

Naegele's rule and the 280-day count give different pregnancy due dates more often than not

A due date is counted from the first day of the last period, either by adding 280 days or by adding nine months and seven days. Over every start date in a four-year leap cycle, the calendar rule matched 280 days on 43.9% of dates and otherwise fell 1 to 3 days later.

Glasgow Coma Scale totals hide the eye, verbal and motor scores behind them

A Glasgow Coma Scale total adds three separate observations of the eyes, speech and movement, and the same total can be reached by very different combinations of them. The scale's authors ask for the three parts to be reported, and for no total when one part cannot be tested.

The usual mid-parental height range missed 12% of Galton's grown children

The usual target height averages the parents' heights, shifts the result 6.5 cm for sex and allows 8.5 cm either side. In Galton's records of 934 adult children from 1880s English families, 87.9% finished inside that range, and the misses leaned toward the population average.

Calculated LDL reads lower on Friedewald's formula than on Martin-Hopkins at high triglycerides

A calculated LDL is total cholesterol minus HDL minus an estimate of the cholesterol in VLDL, and the Friedewald, Martin-Hopkins and Sampson formulas make that estimate differently. They agree closely at low triglycerides and move apart as triglycerides rise, with Friedewald reading below Martin-Hopkins.

Dropping the sex point from the AF stroke score moved no combination between bands

In 2024 the European Society of Cardiology replaced the CHA2DS2-VASc stroke score for atrial fibrillation with CHA2DS2-VA, which drops the point for female sex. Women's scores fell by one while their stroke risk stayed the same, and the stroke rate printed beside a score depends on whose cohort supplied it.

QT correction formulas agree at 60 beats a minute and drift apart either side

Bazett, Fridericia and Framingham correct the QT interval to a heart rate of 60 beats a minute, where all three give the same answer. At faster or slower rates they part, and the upper limits published for men and women differ from one source to the next.

A baby's growth percentile depends on the chart behind it

A growth percentile ranks one measurement against a reference group of children, and the WHO 2006 standard, the US CDC 2000 reference and Singapore's local charts were built from different groups. The same baby can therefore rank quite differently depending on which chart the number came from.

How many weeks you have left, by Singapore and Malaysian life tables

A Singapore resident aged 65 can expect about 1,127 more weeks on the 2025 life tables, 141 more than the figure at birth implies. Life expectancy in weeks for Singapore and Malaysia, where 4,000 weeks fits, and how many reach the life calendar's last row.

How accurate is the Chinese gender chart, and why versions disagree

A test on 2.8 million Swedish births found the Chinese gender chart no better than a coin toss, and simply guessing "boy" every time would do at least as well. The copies online disagree with each other, the calendar rules behind it disagree too, and none of its origin stories names a document.
