The IOC relative energy deficiency in sport clinical assessment tool (RED-S CAT)
Open accessAbstract
In April 2014, the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) published a Consensus Statement in the British Journal of Sports Medicine ( BJSM ) entitled “Beyond the Female Athlete Triad – Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport ( RED-S )”. To assist sports medicine professionals working in clinical sports medicine with the practical screening and management of the RED-S athlete, the IOC authors have developed a Clinical Assessment Tool – the RED-S CAT.

The IOC REDs CAT2 introduces a four-colour traffic-light severity/risk categorisation, in contrast to the three-colour stratification in the 2015 RED-S CAT, due to the appreciation that the 2015 yellow zone had an extensive clinical severity/risk range of very low to very high.
“The IOC REDs CAT2 25 introduces a four-colour traffic-light severity/risk categorisation, in contrast to the three-colour stratification in the 2015 RED-S CAT, 141 due to the appreciation that the 2015 yellow zone had an extensive clinical severity/risk range of very low (a few minor symptoms) to very high (a few indicators away from removal from sport).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
