Variables Levels Score Notes
Statistics used to determine score for first step (score ≥5 is positive)
PDOR ≥4 9
≥3 7
≥2 5
≥1.25 3
<1.25 0
80% LCL >1.1 2
≤1.1 0
95% LCL >1.1 4
>0.8 2
≤0.8 0
Additional scores added to the first score to determine alert level
Number of days detected within one week ≤3 0 Applied to same syndrome/age stratum/species.
≥3 4 Score applies when sums are ≥5 on ≥3 days in a one week period.
