Nomogram for SNF prognosis score

Scoring for the continuous predictors (Barthel Index, Charlson Deyo and previous inpatient length of stay), may be determined by finding the value of the predictor on the top of the scale, and then reading the points below the line (Figure 3A). For example, a Barthel Index score of 20 would contribute 80 points to the total score. Points for indwelling catheter and/or CHF are added if the patient has the condition. Points from each of the five predictors are added and the total points are used to determine the predicted probability of the composite outcome; the example from the Results section is displayed in the bottom Figure (3B).
