Scoring systems are crucial for several reasons: - Risk Stratification: They help in categorizing patients into different risk groups, which is vital for targeted interventions. - Resource Allocation: Scoring systems guide the allocation of limited healthcare resources, ensuring that high-risk patients receive timely care. - Clinical Decision-Making: They aid clinicians in making informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. - Public Health Surveillance: Scoring systems contribute to monitoring disease trends and evaluating the impact of public health measures.
