FLACC — Behavioural ratings
Five manual clinical ratings0–2; total without an invented threshold.
FLACC — Behavioural ratings
Principle
Manual clinical FLACC rating, postoperative pain in children from 2 months to 7 years; before and after observations under comparable conditions.
Scope
Manual clinical FLACC rating, postoperative pain in children from 2 months to 7 years; before and after observations under comparable conditions.
Interpretation limits
The software sums five ratings 0–2 established using an authorised grid; it does not reproduce proprietary descriptions. No original treatment threshold defined, no invented class. FLACC may underestimate pain in an atonic or prostrate child; prefer self-report when reliable. Do not confuse with r-FLACC. A behavioural change does not prove treatment efficacy.
Formula and logic
Sum of explicit ratings for this observation, without imputation.
