38. 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)

39. 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.

40. 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

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

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

4. Dependent totally in communication or vision

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

1. Complete voluntary control of bladder and bowel sphincters

Acute Flaccid Myelitis case definition

(https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.cste.org/resource/resmgr/ps/ps2021/21-ID-02_AFM.pdf)

Clinical Criteria

An illness with onset of acute flaccid* limb weakness AND

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

* Low muscle tone, limp, hanging loosely, not spastic or contracted.

Confirmatory laboratory/imaging evidence:

MRI showing spinal cord lesion with predominant gray matter involvement* and spanning one or more vertebral segments, AND

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

Presumptive laboratory/imaging evidence:

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

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

Supportive laboratory/imaging evidence:

MRI showing a spinal cord lesion in at least some gray matter* and spanning one or more vertebral segments, AND

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

* Spinal cord lesions may not be present on initial MRI; a negative or normal MRI performed within the first 72 hours after onset of limb weakness does not rule out AFM. Terms in the spinal cord MRI report such as “affecting mostly gray matter,” “affecting the anterior horn or anterior horn cells,” “affecting the central cord,” “anterior myelitis,” or “poliomyelitis” would all be consistent with this terminology.

Other classification criteria

Autopsy findings that include histopathologic evidence of inflammation largely involving the anterior horn of the spinal cord spanning one or more vertebral segments.

Vital Records Criteria

Any person whose death certificate lists acute flaccid myelitis as a cause of death or a condition contributing to death.

Case Classification

Confirmed:

Meets clinical criteria with confirmatory laboratory/imaging evidence, OR

Meets other classification criteria.

Probable:

Meets clinical criteria with presumptive laboratory/imaging evidence.

Suspect:

Meets clinical criteria with supportive laboratory/imaging evidence, AND

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