BODE Index Sample Clauses

BODE Index. ‌ The BODE index is a multidimensional measure that has been reported to be predictive of risk of death from any cause and from respiratory causes [46,47]. It combines four measures frequently used in COPD studies as a composite score: body-mass index (BMI), obstruction (FEV1 % predicted), dyspnea, usually characterized using the mMRC survey score, and exercise capacity, as determined using the 6MWD test. Each component is graded and a score of 0 to 10 is obtained as indicated in the table below. The BODE Index will be calculated and reported in the final study report. Table.

  • Measurement method An isolation resistance test instrument is connected between the live parts and the electrical chassis. The isolation resistance is subsequently measured by applying a DC voltage at least half of the working voltage of the high voltage bus. If the system has several voltage ranges (e.g. because of boost converter) in conductively connected circuit and some of the components cannot withstand the working voltage of the entire circuit, the isolation resistance between those components and the electrical chassis can be measured separately by applying at least half of their own working voltage with those components disconnected.
