Scoring systems serve the classification of disease pictures and injury samples. They are used in the medicine, in order to place and the patient condition in uniform nomenclature to describe be able diagnoses. An important operational area is the statistic collection. From some Scoring systems indirectly also treatment strategies and prognoses can be derived.

It is common to the Scoring systems that they assign defined point values and illustrate over a computation method the result on a firm scale.

In contrast to it systems, which work without sharp point allocation rather describing, stand like the sighting categories in the disaster and emergency medicine.

Examples of medical Scoring systems are:

• Acute Physiology and Chronic Health evaluation (APACHE)
• APGAR pattern for the evaluation of newborn children and babies
• Bishop Score for evaluation the birth-ripe of the nut/mother mouth
• Child Pugh Score for the classification of the living ore erring trousers.
• Fischer Score for the evaluation of the heart clay/tone sore posting (Kardiotokografie) with pregnant women.
• Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to the evaluation of consciousness disturbances with adults

• Hasford Score for the evaluation of the group of risks with leukaemia
• Injury Severity Score (EAT) to the trauma classification
• Innsbrucker coma scale (IKS) for the trauma evaluation on the basis of physiological criteria, consults other Scoring systems (GCS, RTS) for the computation and refers it to blood pressure and respiration rate values.
• Lipton Score for organization with Histiozytose X-patient.
• Mainz Emergency evaluation Score (MEES)
• NACA pattern for the statistic collection of aviation accidents, meanwhile also when other accidents and illnesses assigned
• Psoriasis AREA and Severity index (PASI)
• Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (PGCS) to the evaluation of consciousness disturbances with children
• Revised trauma Score (RTS)
• RLS Severity Scale for the diagnosis of the Restless Legs syndrome.
