Abstract: A beta to score creates a rounded-simplest scoring system for a specific purpose as a rule of thumb, calculation in the mental arithmetic by the user in an emergency condition or rapid decision-making from post-estimation output derived from regress ling to make it compatible with the following commands: "regress," "logistic," "logit," and "stcox." It is essential to note that when using ordinal logistic regression to construct an easy scoring system, you'll need one odds ratio for each variable. This simplifies rapid assessment by creating an additive score rounded to an integer for easy calculation. Each regression coefficient can then be converted into an integer or a specific decimal, such as 0.5. This approach is designed for bedside evaluation in emergencies, ensuring that the score is ready for immediate use and simple to calculate without relying on a computer or an application, similar to well-known tools like Alvarado score, Apgar score, Ottawa ankle rule, and Glasgow Coma Scale.
