New England Spinal Metastatic Score (NESMS)

Prognostication of mortality in patients with spinal metastases.

About

The New England Metastatic Spinal Score (NESMS) is a prognostic tool for survival in patients with spinal metastases. It is helpful for guiding clinicians in their decision making, and enabling patients to better understand the outcomes associated with their spinal metastasis.

Numerous studies have found NESMS to be superior to alternative legacy prognostic scores such as Tokuhashi, Bauer, Tomita and SINS.
