About Duke

The Duke Activity Status Index is a self-administered questionnaire that measures
a patient's functional capacity.
It can be used to get a rough estimate of a patient's peak oxygen uptake: it is supposed to correlate well with treadmills, but not necessarily with CPET.
This initial version is the anglicised version in the Musgrove perioperative proforma*. Being an English version it does not include sex.
The original US version can be accessed by tapping on the button (but baseball seems a bit irrelevant and only goalkeepers should throw footballs).
*I have added 'singles' and 'doubles' to 'tennis' in the last two questions in Musgrove Park's version, otherwise it does not make sense.
