BoneCalc vs Glasgow Coma Scale

The BoneCalc app is designed for the calculation of Z-scores and percentiles for bone mineral content (BMC) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) for children under 20 years of age, as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), for the following sites: whole-body subtotal (total-body-less-head), total hip, femoral neck, lumbar spine, distal ⅓ radius and ultradistal radius. Separate race-specific (Black and non-Black) and race-neutral calculations are available by age and sex. Height-Z–adjusted Z-scores for these measures are also calculated. The BMC and aBMD data are derived from the CHOP Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study: race-specific for ages 5–20 [Zemel B et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2011;96(10):3160–3169]; race-specific for ages 1–5 [Kalkwarf HJ et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2022;107(9):e3887–e3900]; and race-neutral ages 5–20 [Zemel BS et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2025;110(11):3034–3048]. Calculations are also available for lumbar-spine bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) for children 5–20 years of age: race-specific [Kindler JM et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2019;104(4):1283–1292] and race-neutral [Zemel BS et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2025;110(11):3034–3048].

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a neurological scale aiming to provide a reliable, objective way of recording the conscious state of a person, both for initial and continuing assessment of the patient, which has a special value in predicting the ultimate outcome. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS score) is composed of three tests, namely eye, verbal, and motor response. The highest possible GCS score is 15 (E4V5M6) (fully aware), while the lowest is 3 (E1V1M1) (indicating deep unconsciousness). Key Features: 1. Swift Glasgow Coma Scale calculation by selecting three tests: eye, verbal and motor response. 2. Add your own interpretation below the score 3. Points are displayed next to the criteria 4. Option to save calculated scores for later comparison with patient name 5. Big text and score numbers 6. Support Dark mode Must have app for medical students (to learn and get familiar with GCS) and medical professionals (to keep track of GCS scores and for consultation). Disclaimer: This calculator should not be used for the diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or disease. It is not intended to replace clinical judgment or guide individual patient care in any manner. The user should seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.
