changes by adding ‘conf usion’ at PPS 60%. We revised PPS 30% to ‘normal or reduced’ intake. The ditto marks were removed to make it clear and easier to read PPS levels horizontally. We decided to call this a revision to Palliative Performance Scale version 2 (PPSv2) which is now the official PPS.
Palliative Performance Scale (PPSv2) Instructions: PPS level is determined by reading left to right to find a ‘best horizontal fit.’. Begin at left column reading downwards until current ambulation is determined, then, read across to next and downwards until each column is determined. Thus, ‘leftward’ columns take precedence over ...
This Fast Fact reviews the Palliative Performance Scale (PPS); see Fast Fact #124 The Palliative Prognostic Score for another prognostic tool used in palliative care patients. The PPS uses five observer-rated domains correlated to the Karnofsky Performance Scale (100-0).
Example 1: A patient who spends the majority of the day sitting or lying down due to fatigue from advanced disease and requires considerable assistance to walk even for short distances but who is otherwise fully conscious level with good intake would be scored at PPS 50%.
The PPSv2 allows more common language about performance status than the Karnofsky Performance scale from which it is based. The PPSv2 uses five observer rated domains: ambulation; activity & evidence of disease; self-care; intake; and conscious level.
Palliative Performance Scale (PPSv2) version 2. Instructions for Use of PPS (see also definition of terms) PPS scores are determined by reading horizontally at each level to find a ‘best fit’ for the patient which is then assigned as the PPS% score.
The Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) defines a specification to create a single representation of stimulus and test scenarios usable by a variety of users across many levels of integration under different configurations.
