The Five Vital Signs

How It's Used

“For a host of reasons, at least half of patients fail to comply with the treatments their doctors prescribe. Dr. Edward C. Rosenow III of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine calls compliance 'the sixth vital sign,' as important as respiration, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and pain in evaluating a patient's medical status.”

—Jane E. Brody, “Just What the Doctor Ordered?  Not Exactly,” The New York Times, May 9, 2006.
