53 Daughter sits with her Mom who has lung cancer. Her PPS 10% and now close to death. Her family dog sleeps beside her to give comfort.

54 PALLIATIVE PERFORMANCE SCALE (PPSV2)

55 Palliative Performance Scale (PPSv2) PPS 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Ambulation Activity & Self-Care Intake Conscious Evidence of Disease Level Full Normal Activity Full Normal Full No Evidence of Disease Full Normal Activity Full Normal Full Some Disease Full Normal Activity with Effort Full Normal or Full Some Disease Reduced Reduced Unable Normal Job/Work Full Normal or Full Some Disease Reduced Reduced Unable Hobby/House Work Occasional Normal or Full Significant Disease Assistance Reduced +/- Confusion Mainly Sit/Lie Unable to Do Any Work Considerable Normal or Full Extensive Disease Assistance Reduced +/- Confusion Mainly in Bed Unable to Do Any Work Mainly Normal or Full or Drowsy Extensive Disease Assistance Reduced +/- Confusion Total Bed Bound Unable to Do Any Work Total Care Reduced Full or Drowsy Extensive Disease +/- Confusion Total Bed Bound Unable to Do Any Work Total Care Minimal Full or Drowsy Extensive Disease Sips +/- Confusion Total Bed Bound Unable to Do Any Work Total Care Mouth Drowsy or Extensive Disease Care Only Coma Death x x x x

56 USES OF PPSV2 Communication Verbal Charting Service allocation Drug benefit Plan P Service monitoring eg. LOS Workload Home Care and weekend visits PPS 10%-30% need much physical care in bed PPS 40%-50% need assistance with walking; risk of falls PPS 60%-90% very little physical care Prognosis Care models Eg. Suandok Collaborative Care Cancer Care Ontario, Canada Psychosocial transition support Research demographic, prognostic, etc

57 PPS PITFALL IS A FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE SCALE NOT JUST PALLIATIVE We often get confused with word palliative in the PPSv2 scale It was designed mainly for patients with advanced progressive illness who are palliative Illnesses can be cancer, end stage heart, COPD, live failure, end stage renal failure, dementia, ALS, etc

58 PPS PITFALL IS A FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE SCALE NOT JUST PALLIATIVE But you also use it here in Chiang Mai for many medical and surgical wards who are not palliative and staff get confused For example, in Sub-ICU Medicine next slide Sometimes I think the name of PPS should be changed to Victoria Performance Scale or Suandok Performance Scale so it is easier to use in many patients But it is a functional assessment tool, so can be used for any illness, not just palliative For example, in Sub-ICU Medicine next slide
