Cushing Syndrome Probability Score

Estimate pre-test probability of Cushing syndrome based on clinical features: easy bruising (most specific), plethora, proximal myopathy, striae above 1cm, and hypertension in young patients.

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

Estimate pre-test probability of Cushing syndrome based on clinical features: easy bruising (most specific), plethora, proximal myopathy, striae above 1cm, and hypertension in young patients

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Clinical features: easy bruising — The clinical features: easy bruising recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Plethora — The plethora recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Proximal myopathy — The proximal myopathy recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Striae above 1cm — The striae above 1cm recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hypertension in young patients — The hypertension in young patients recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the cushing probability result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the clinical features: easy bruising, plethora, proximal myopathy, striae above 1cm, hypertension in young patients for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate pre-test probability of Cushing syndrome based on clinical features: easy bruising (most specific), plethora, proximal myopathy, striae above 1cm, and hypertension in young patients. Use the cushing probability result to inform your calculation.
