| Cumulative Index Medicus | Collection of medical literature, published annually, which began in the US Army Surgeon General's office in the last century. It has been taken over by the National Library of Medicine and has evolved into a database called MEDLINE. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressure-volume index | Method of evaluating the cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prevalence index | <statistics> A weighted average measure of the sum of the frequency of occurrences of all species along a single transect or as calculated for a plant community by averaging the prevalence index of all sample transects through the community. (05 Mar 1998) |
| sacral index | A ratio obtained by multiplying the greatest breadth of the sacrum by 100 and dividing by the length. (05 Mar 2000) |
| health status index | Set of measurements designed to detect short-term fluctuations in health of members of a population; the measurements usually include physical function, emotional well-being, activities of daily living, feelings, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| height-length index | The relation of the height to the length of the skull: (height × 100)/length. Synonym: height-length index, length-height index, transversovertical index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| saturation index | An indication of the relative concentration of haemoglobin in the red blood cells, calculated as: grams of haemoglobin per 100 ml (expressed as percent of normal) ÷ haematocrit value (expressed as percent of normal) = saturation index The normal index for adults and infants is 0.97 to 1.02; in primary and secondary anaemia, the index is usually considerably less than 0.97.
