Getting CORE total score from domain mean scores


        
Background to the scoring

        

          This incredibly basic shiny app just gets overall (and non-risk) scores from the mean domain scores. 
          You might think that these are just the mean of the domain scores but that's not the case because the 
          domains have such different numbers of items so the correct process is the multiply those mean scores 
          by the number of items in each domain, add them up and take the mean of all of them for the total score, 
          (and just add up the those recreated totals for domains other than risk to get the non-risk score (doh!)  
          I have added the option to get those overall scores as 'clinical' scores, i.e. the mean scores multiplied 
          by 10.
        

        

        

          This only works if all items have been completed on all domains but in at least one NHS Trust the way that 
          SystmOne gets the responses is all or nothing so that assumption is safe.  
          If you are in the situation where SystmOne or some other software allows missing items and tells you domain 
          mean scores and numbers of omitted (or completed) items you would need a different version of this app.  
          If you do want that,

          And, as you asked, yes I think it was a bad decision to have both the mean and the 'clinical' scoring 
          methods but I didn't invent the 'clinical' one and both are now well established with the 'clinical' 
          score probably being the most used for the CORE-10 now so we have to live with it!
