Doctors could potentially use the pneumonia
prediction score to encourage
older adults to get the pneumococcal vaccine that protects against pneumonia, as well as to counsel at - risk individuals about positive behavioral changes such as quitting smoking, said the researchers.
Rob Coe, from Durham University's Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, a baseline test provider, told Schools Week in 2015 that his organisation's assessment could make
predictions for four - year -
olds «good enough for what we need» and could more accurately predict the
score range in which pupils were likely to be in future.
