Total score

PICADAR is a predictive score with seven simple questions to predict the likelihood of having primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). It can be used in patients with chronic productive cough and other respiratory symptoms starting in early childhood. The total score is calculated, and for a cut-off score of 5, the sensitivity and specificity of the tool are 0.90 and 0.75.
