35. Physical condition (includes cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urologic, endocrine as well as neurologic disorders):

1. Medical problems sufficiently stable that medical or nursing monitoring is not required more often than 3-month intervals

2. Medical or nurse monitoring is needed more often than 3-month intervals but not each week.

3. Medical problems are sufficiently unstable as to require medical and/or nursing attention at least weekly.

4. Medical problems require intensive medical and/or nursing attention at least daily (excluding personal care assistance)

36. Upper limb functions: Self-care activities (drink/feed, dress upper/lower, brace/prosthesis, groom, wash, perineal care) dependent mainly upon upper limb function:

1. Age-appropriate independence in self-care without impairment of upper limbs

2. Age-appropriate independence in self-care with some impairment of upper limbs

3. Dependent upon assistance in self-care with or without impairment of upper limbs.

4. Dependent totally in self-care with marked impairment of upper limbs.

37. Lower limb functions: Mobility (walk, stairs, wheelchair, transfer chair/toilet/tub or shower) dependent mainly upon lower limb function:

1. Independent in mobility without impairment of lower limbs

2. Independent of mobility with some impairment of lower limbs, such as needing ambulatory aids, a brace or prosthesis

3. Dependent upon assistance or supervision in mobility with or without impairment of lower limbs.

4. Dependant totally in mobility with marked impairment of lower limbs.

38. Sensory components: Relating to communication (speech and hearing) and vision:

1. Age-appropriate independence in communication and vision without impairment

2. Age-appropriate independence in communication and vision with some impairment such as mild dysarthria, mild aphasia or need for eyeglasses or hearing aid.

3. Dependent upon assistance, an interpreter, or supervision in communication or vision

4. Dependent totally in communication or vision

39. Excretory functions (bladder and bowel control, age-appropriate):

1. Complete voluntary control of bladder and bowel sphincters

2. Control of sphincters allows normal social activities despite urgency or need for catheter, appliance, suppositories, etc.

3. Dependent upon assistance in sphincter management

4. Frequent wetting or soiling from bowel or bladder incontinence

40. Support factors:

1. Able to fulfil usual age-appropriate roles and perform customary tasks

2. Must make some modifications in usual age-appropriate roles and performance of customary tasks

3. Dependent upon assistance, supervision, and encouragement from an adult due to any of the above considerations

4. Dependent upon long-term institutional care (chronic hospitalization, residential rehabilitation, etc. Excluding time-limited hospitalization for specific evaluation or treatment)

Acute Flaccid Myelitis case definition (https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.cste.org/resource/resmgr/2019ps/final/19-ID-05_AFM_final_7.31.19.pdf)

Criteria

• An illness with onset of acute flaccid limb weakness AND

• a magnetic resonance image (MRI) showing spinal cord lesion in at least some gray matter and spanning one or more spinal segments, AND

• Excluding persons with gray matter lesions in the spinal cord resulting from physician diagnosed malignancy, vascular disease, or anatomic abnormalities.

Case Classification

Confirmed:

● An illness with onset of acute flaccid limb weakness AND

● MRI showing spinal cord lesion largely restricted to gray matter and spanning one or more spinal segments

• Excluding persons with gray matter lesions in the spinal cord resulting from physician diagnosed malignancy, vascular disease, or anatomic abnormalities AND

• Absence of a clear alternative diagnosis attributable to a nationally notifiable condition

Probable:

● An illness with onset of acute flaccid limb weakness AND

● MRI showing spinal cord lesion where gray matter involvement is present but predominance cannot be determined,

• Excluding persons with gray matter lesions in the spinal cord resulting from physician diagnosed malignancy, vascular disease, or anatomic abnormalities AND

• Absence of a clear alternative diagnosis attributable to a nationally notifiable condition

Suspect:

• An illness with onset of acute flaccid limb weakness AND

• MRI showing spinal cord lesion in at least some gray matter and spanning one or more spinal segments,

  • Excluding persons with gray matter lesions in the spinal cord resulting from physician diagnosed malignancy, vascular disease, or anatomic abnormalities AND

• Available information is insufficient to classify case as probable or confirmed.
