Changes scores correlated simplified Results: There very tight correlation between new pregnancy-unique quantification emesis (PUQE) scoring system, based on items included number daily episodes, length per day hours, retching episodes ( r = 0.904; P 0.95; Conclusion: PUQE yields similar results gold standard, but more cumbersome, Rhode's score. Clinicians researchers easily PUQE. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 2002;186:S228-31.)
