1. Nature of the Tools

The calculators and clinical scores available on Calculamedica are clinical decision support tools, developed on the basis of formulae and criteria validated in the medical literature. Their purpose is to help healthcare professionals organize clinical data and apply recognized scores — and not to replace clinical reasoning, professional judgment, or the clinician-patient relationship.

2. Results Do Not Constitute a Diagnosis

The values calculated by this platform do not represent a diagnosis, prescription, therapeutic indication or medical advice. No generated result should be interpreted as definitive clinical guidance without an in-person assessment by a qualified professional. The final clinical decision is and remains the exclusive responsibility of the healthcare professional caring for the patient.

3. Clinical Responsibility of the Professional

Use of Calculamedica tools presupposes that the user is a healthcare professional or student under supervision, capable of interpreting results within the clinical context of each patient. By using this site, the user acknowledges that they:

• Are solely responsible for any clinical decisions made on the basis of results obtained;
• Must take into account each patient's individual characteristics, which no formula can fully capture;
• Will not use results as a substitute for a clinical assessment, history taking, physical examination or further investigations.

4. Inherent Limitations of Clinical Scores and Formulae

Every clinical calculator has methodological limitations that must be considered:

• Formulae were validated on specific populations and may have reduced accuracy for groups not represented in the original studies;
• Data entry errors produce incorrect results without any automatic system warning;
• Scores comprising subjective criteria depend on the clinical interpretation of the assessor and cannot be reproduced automatically;
• No computer tool replaces direct clinical examination of the patient.

5. Verification of Current Guidelines

The calculators available on this site are based on recognized bibliographic references. However, clinical guidelines are periodically revised, and the thresholds, formulae or interpretations of certain scores may be updated by medical societies after the tools presented here were published. We recommend always verifying the latest recommendations of the relevant institution, specialty or learned society before making clinical decisions.

6. Disclaimer of Liability

Calculamedica, its developers and contributors disclaim all liability for:

• Any harm, injury or consequences arising from inappropriate use of the tools provided;
• Errors introduced by incorrect data entry or by applying a calculator in an inappropriate clinical context;
• Any lag between content and the most recent versions of clinical scores or guidelines;
• Use of the tools by persons without training or supervision in the health field.

7. Target Audience

This site is intended for healthcare professionals and students in health sciences. Use by non-professionals, without the guidance of a qualified professional, is not recommended and is undertaken entirely at the user's own risk.
