Chroniberia is a prognostic index for chronic patients developed by the Multiple Pathology and Advanced Age Unit of the Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

Chroniberia can be used as a prognostic value for mortality at one year in both chronic and multipathological patients.

The Chroniberia index is calculated from only five variables: age, sex, neoplasia, Barthel index, and presence of atrial fibrillation.

Neoplasia: active solid or hematological neoplasia not subsidiary to treatment with curative intent Ministry of Health and Social Policy. Patients polypathological unit. Standards and recommendations. Madrid. 2009 Available from http://www.mscbs.gob.es/organizacion/sns/planCalidadSNS/docs/EyR_UPP.pdf .

Chroniberia works like a calculator. After setting the appropriate values ​​for the five variables using the controls on the form, the prognostic value will be calculated automatically. The application also includes the Barthel test. You can find a link to the Barthel test on the main page of the application, next to the corresponding fields.
