Yes I do the same, but I have so many patients who are declining, are bed bound but still speaking (even if incoherently) but clearly have a prognosis < 6 months.

…and sit up but still speak in sentences even if incoherent or answer questions but demonstrate clear confabulation. Technically they don’t meet FAST 7A criteria but do for 7C and 7D. Assuming they are eating less, losing wt, have had a recent UTI and clearly declining what FAST score do you use?
