Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Assess imminent risk of transtentorial or tonsillar brain herniation based on clinical signs, ICP trends, and imaging findings

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Clinical signs — The clinical signs recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • ICP trends — The icp trends recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Imaging findings — The imaging findings recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the herniation risk result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the clinical signs, ICP trends, imaging findings for the scenario you are assessing. Assess imminent risk of transtentorial or tonsillar brain herniation based on clinical signs, ICP trends, and imaging findings. Use the herniation risk result to inform your calculation.
